American interface on German submarine

B25 · 10-17-09, 07:33 PM

Does anybody know how to use US interface in German campaign?
Think, that more of us would appreciate help.

I was trying to get American interface as TDC to German campaign...but without succes :-).
Seems that US targetting interface is much better than GE. You can change any of parameters (e.g. speed of target) manually and let the rest (AoB, range) on TDC.
In contrast to GE version, where if you need to manually correct target's speed, you have to insert or the rest parameters also manually.

that's how it was in SH3. i can't for the life of me figure out why they did it that way in SHIV.

you can't just input one thing.. you have to send all three.

only way around it is to not use the notepad at all. which sucks big time. it's the reason i dont play U-Boats in SH4. the AOB is linked to the periscope... so once it's set, you shouldn't have to keep sending a new one everytime you want to update the range. it's a PITA to have to keep jumping to the F6 screen to input a new range everytime you grab a new stadimeter reading, and i grew tired of it.

Yeah, SH3 system was a nightmare for manual targeting users

You can actually go to the attack screen and input individually on the dials your corrections. But right now the answer to everyone's prayers is already here, with a full TDC in the attack scope screen:

Thank you Hitman, for your suggestion. It looks great. I'm going to dive and test it :-).
