Manual targeting

Cybermat47 · 02-25-13, 11:58 PM

Can anybody tell me how to use manual targeting in stock SH5? I can't get TDW's new UIs, because my computer can't cope, so how do I get the solutions right? I tried to use it today, but the torpedoes just ran as if I was using the line-up-the-dots method.

You there guys?

You just do it the same

But all data is set into the xo command box

Note:the stadi does not work with stock - so you will need to use map contacts on so you can draw distance.

Why not try DrJones UI

That's what I'm doing

but the torpedoes always follow my periscope bearing.

Have you turned on manual targeting?
You can do this when you press space on the target.
enter all info (speed, bearing and range)
fire

Did you try DrJones UI

...and miss completely, in my case

Let me give you an example. I came across a Cimmaron class tanker, put all the information in, fired my torpedoes, and all but two out of the 11 I fired missed! And the two that did hit were completely down to dumb luck!
