Help with Snapshots

Pvt.Peepers · 07-27-06, 01:21 PM

I am having trouble with the weopons on my Seawolf. Anybody got pointers, especially on the Snapshot corrdinates? IF my sub is heading towards a target broadside according to the TMA. What should the Snapshot be?

find and classify all targets before you even go near weps control, then click the weapon and put in the cordinates of that target (make sure you have a master on it) then procead to fire.

To classify on towed array narrowban (only place to find a sub) you must find the real and ghost then turn 45 degrees the one that moves is the ghost, then you will have a master and have a firing solution then fire.

If you mean what should the lead angle be, it depends on the relative velocity of the target and the speed of your torpedo. It's equal to arcsin(v_target/v_torp). It's just highschool geometry.

You really shouldn't need to compute that though, unless you're strange like me and like to come up with all kinds of wild optimized torpedo tactics.

I go to the nav map, click the target, read his bearing, put this bearing as setting for the snapshot.
For the Seawolf, you can make adjustements later since they're wire guided.
