German TDC

Bubblehead1980 · 06-07-22, 11:05 AM

Coming from the Us side of things in SH 4...

I play without map contacts most of the time and have a high hit rate. A lot of it has to do with 3D TDC and a functioning linked radar range unit in TMO, this permits realistic targeting.

Anyways, I have little to no experience in in UBoats but have jumped in. Running Dark Waters mod for SH 4. I know this is SH 3 but from videos watched there are similarities to U boat side of things and these forums are the center of expertise on U Boat sims, so asking here.

German TDC is well different....What is the function of where you can "lock" in info and it seems linked to the periscope/Uzo, but turn off to enter fire control data.

Is this a form of Position Keeper? I thought US TDC was only one with the PK. Info does not seem to update though, so dont thin a PK.

What is best method of ascertaining speed?

With map contacts off on US side, I take range/bearing readings, mark the map and time for 3 minutes...900 yards=9 kts.

I am still adjusting to using metric system lol but should time for 3 minutes 15 seconds for metric correct?

Any advice etc is greatly appreciated. I want to do manual with map contacts until I adjust to U Boats, then move on to running without map contacts.
