manual solutions and math

CptSimFreak · 01-21-07, 10:21 PM

I need small assistance with manual solutions and math behind it. I’m playing torpedo training mission and practicing on C2. For some reason all of my fishes land way ahead of target. What am I doing wrong? It seems that actual speed of ship is much slower than my calculations.... can anyone find my mistake.

I think if you take the .368 multiply by 10 you will get knots which
is what you want. Not Kph.

386 meters to nmiles = .2084 . That makes speed of C2 to 4.16. That makes more sense. Thanks.

Why would metric system use imperial units......bah.

Too many numbers makes mookie a sad little Kaleun :rotfl:

All the math made my head spin too!

I just read the thread on kilometers verses Nautical miles
a bit ago and made sense to me.
:rotfl:
Even if I wasn't right, I'm glad if it helped!

I get 3.98350559 knots, which is the same as your answer.

So finally lets get distance. (and now, I need to figure out calculations from a moving vessel)
