[REL] Tutorial for tracking with sonar

I created a new tutorial on tracking and intercepting ships using hydrophone readings.

The concepts are not my own, but I thought it would be helpful to have a clear and concise tutorial on using this technique, and the theory behind it.

You can download the tutorial here

If you see any mistakes or have a difficult time understanding it, please let me know so I can fix it.

I'm not sure. I don't know what the MoBo tutorial is.

I've seen a couple tutorials on this method before, but none that really described the nuts and bolts of why it works.

I think that understanding the theory behind a technique helps you master it.

But that might just be because I'm a nuke.

Default MoBo

It is an maneuvering board program by aaronblood and has its own forum. It is a masterpiece of work on intercepting ships. It is based on real life manuevering boards used on subs. You can used advanced intercept techniques with MoBo and the tutorial discusses something similar to your post. It is worth visiting the MoBo forum and getting familiar with it. The tutrial is almost as good as the program, which is amazing.

I believe you...

I never really thought about speeding up and slowing down before. So I guess it's OK as long as you don't maintain a constant speed then, correct?

I saw a video on this technique just recently. You tutorial helped me better understand how to do it, and exactly why it works. Thank you.

I'm glad it helped.

That'd be cool if it could get on a sticky. I'd be semi-famous!

Superb!!! It looks very much like what Nefelodamon does in his hydrophone tutorial (video) that he posted in the Sh3 section.

Jerm138: Excellently clear and step-by-step tutorial. Just like I would use the drawing tools. Well done!

Yeah... Re-up it OP!


Oh... wait a minute...


Well, this is embarrassing. I just started re-learning everything since I stopped playing about 3 years ago. I vaguely remembered this tutorial but unfortunately the original files are long gone. I really HOPE somebody here has a copy and can re-up it.
