Help with determining target angles

Snakeeyes · 03-14-07, 09:01 PM

Hey seasoned skippers.

I always have prided myself in plotting my own attack solutions since day one in SHIII at the periscope. Okay... I'm not the best at using sonar in WWII boats for torpedo shots but the periscope or surface firing was the most common way to attack so I sleep better at night.

I do have problems with determining the angle of targets at times. I've minimized this by making flanking attacks my standard... you know, 90 degree shots maximizing the chances of my torps hitting. The problem is that this REALLY is limiting my evasion options after the destroyers are alerted.

What I'm asking, are there any tricks or tutorials anyone could recommend to drill for better estimations?

Drop me a line if you think of anything.
