2. Aspect Ratio is one method to get the AoB. However historicaly rarely used due to many reasons. At first you must know the aspect ratio, that was not always the case. Then it was less acurate then it appears in sh4 because it was very hard to hold the scope on one place with a boat being shaked around in rough sea. And after all it requires to have the periscope raised for to long time.

Altirnatively you can take two position marks and make a plot. That will not only provide the course (which can be converted into AoB easily) but the speed also.

Basicly youre doing it anyway. When you get speed you also have course information. Just tune in the course in TDC compas and you have your AoB. No calculations needed.

Yeap, there is on guy who knos how to use the TDC and KP, though KP degreads rapidly. I learnned how to use it from your video tutorial, though i do not take just two measures, the first on when i idenity the ship cause is ussually pretty far still and is not very accurate, i take 3 4 or 5 depending on the situation although the longer the time between measurements the better, is also true the farther the ship the worse is range accurate. I found a way in between these two parametrs that usually works for me.

The tutorial can be found in the subsim download section. I am too lazy to post the link.

I hope HITMAN does not mind, but here is a printer-friendlier version I done....

FROM TUTORIAL: because I wanted to show proof of how exact this method is. So I left map contact updates “ON” to be able to provide a screenshot of the attack screen,

Ok..it is accurate. Fair enough....but what I would like to ask is why is this "proof" that this method is "exact"?...more so than other methods?

I am not really being a smart a$$ here. I really would like to know. I am getting solutions that result in hits ...though not always 100% I admit...and my attack screen solutions look every bit as "good "as this one.

I use only the tools provided by the sim for Range and AOB...and determine the speed from the plotting board. This method seems a bit complicated and to use it in the middle of a heavily escorted convoy attack...without hitting the pause button over and over...(immersion killer for me)... well I dunno...

Can you tell me which Recognition Manual you are using? Looks great!

It worked for me, and I am brand new at auto targeting!!

I just picked up the game last week, and havent even finished the training missions. I've been looking through some of the guides on here for much needed assistance, and this one seems like one of the more important ones for me atm.

Would you please be able to put up a version that is not a .doc file? I do not have microsoft word installed. Maybe html or pdf?

I appreciate all the effort you guys have put into these tutorials. Without them I would be completely lost (never played a sub sim before).

Thanks! DL now and will try later...

How come you still can't get it?

I will try to look for another web for file sharing, let's see if that helps you

EDIT: Get it here at filefront:

Because of this excellent tutorial, I can now actually hit something with a torpedo from time to time.

Thanks very much Hitman.
