Default [REL] Video Tutorals: TDC + PK advanced.

Hello guys.

I still come across questions about how to use tdc and position keeper. So ive made a guide. This is not another newbie guide however. Basicly it starts where the newbie guides finish.

You should be confidend with basic torpedoe attack. You should know the meanings of true/relative course and bearing. The standard dataset (range, AoB, speed) should neither be new and you should be familiar with the standard procedure...

So here we go:

1. The first guide responds to the basic devices and the usage of the position keeper. It shows the flexibility of the position keeper and potentials behind it. Find out how to find Angle on Bow without ploting and how to change active firing solution without reseting the PK.

2. The second guide shows a standard visual attack procedure. Also it gets deeper into firing solutioins.

3. And the last one is older. Advanced firing solution using sonar only. Find out how to attack targets in bad visibility conditions only using sonar data. (Guide was made with 1.2)

Thank you so much for your tutorials. They have been very helpful for me!

One question, how do you get the compass around your sub on the attack map to show?

Thanks again!

I downloaded all 3 and looked at all and have to say you did a brilliant job making these, they will really help me with manual TDC shots.

Thanks for the great work. In your second video, how do you know that the target is heading North? I did not see that you plot the course on the map so I guess I am a bit confused how you got the true heading on the target.

Also, a video on attacking a convey would be super for us newbies.

thanks again.

Listen closely to what he says at about the 1:30 mark of the video...

i took the first mark, then after a while the second. Two positions are enough for a plot to find course and speed. Fortunaly after patch 1.3 we dont have to plot it on the map anymore, we have an "assistant" who makes the plot. Just click on the clock symbol in speed finder device (when you have two marks) and a message will appear "The Plot shows speed ..., course ...."
