Can't find any video tutorial for manual TDC in TWOS, help?

Skarmy · 02-08-19, 04:57 PM

So I guess I have found a few video tutorials, but for the sake of keeping the title short, I will specify now: I can't find any tutorial videos for TWOS that aren't Real Navigation. There don't seem to be any that show how to use manual TDC with map updates on.

I've played a bit of SH4 before installing SH5 with the TWOS mod and I seem to do fine: I get the speed of the target, set the correct angle for my firing solution and I get something like 75% success. But in SH5 with TWOS my torps are constantly veering hard left or hard right, there is something that I obviously don't understand abut setting up Angle on Bow and Bearing.

Most videos are either to showcase the game, certain mods, or for 100% realism. All of my videos are based on the latter! It takes a bit at least for me to make them. Good luck to you.

Here is one of the better manual TDC tutorials.

Now the only thing I keep mixing up is when to turn off or on the thing to input data like speed or aob (when using WE), when to lock or unlock or keep it locked.

I know that Auto TDC is Lock, unlock, aim, fire.

But Manual TDC is that Lock and keep locked? Or also Lock, enter data, unlock, fire.

Annoying. LOL.

By the way, manual tdc with map updates should work the same since you get your data from your map and then enter it into the tdc.

I use 100% realism, with the auto TDC option off, but... you can still use your XO to give you a rough estimate on the AOB, speed, etc.

It makes me check the work, and that feels real, because commanders would never do it alone!

I got really annoyed when my navigator decided to start giving me data on my target. He continually gets speed aob and range WRONG! Pity I cannot fire him.

We tracked a merchant passenger and cargo freighter and he said it was going 221kts (8) range was 12500 (7650) and AOB was -33 (+67).

Could you perhaps tell me when to lock/unlock and fire in manual tdc? I now am switching between auto and manual each torp to improve my hit chances.
