Default recognition manual help

Hi all.

I'm running the latest T.M. and the rec manual is to me worthless as far as draft is concerned. I use imperial settings.

Has anyone come up with accurate draft settings? Something I can print out?

Thx in advance for any help.

p.s I know it doesn't have anything to do with T.M. a mod I love.

The draft values are fairly accuracte, at least under metric. It's the torpedoes that run within 6 feet of the set depth, either deeper or shallower.

The real mk 14s should ALWAYS run 10-12 feet deep until fixed. I think bando's torpedo mod fixes that---course it also eliminates gyro angle from the mk10s

The recognition manual is still helpful...

to convert metres into feet is easy

metre * 3.28 = feet

What i've done is on a rainy day actually a huge thunder storm I got out my caculator and converted and wrote in all data into feet.

As for the deck gun it's in metres. 1 yard = .9144 metres

1 metre = 1.09361 yards


hope it helps a bit
