Per the patch it states that the player can now request a speed estimate on a target as long as he has recently sent at least two range+bearing data sets. Keep in mind that the estimate needs to be sent to the TDC to be taken into account for the shot.

I performed this within the Torpedo Attack training exercise. (#4) I raised the scope, determined everything except for speed and clicked on the TDC. I did this twice and then clicked on the ID Target button.

Afterwhich I receive cannot compute speed for the target.

Also I noticed when I try to click on the Radar (using my mouse to click the button on) that it does nothing.

Is the Training Excercises still broke? Does the patch not affect those?

Thanks!

I noticed that the Radar did not work (or does nothing) when I click on the ON switch...... within a quick mission.

Is this possibly because of the year or sub?

Regarding speed estimate, I heard someone say you might have to unlock/re-lock the periscope when sending the 2nd range/bearing data to TDC, then maybe the speed estimate will work? Please let us know

I believe you need to have some time between each range and bearing reading.

You do not need to unlock/relock. Just send the bearing/range twice, then you can esitmate the speed. That estimate will vary wildly with how accurate your range and aob are, and the time between when you update the bearing/range it would seem. I've had speed estimates be off by over 30 knots.

Set up the target info and send bearing/range. Wait a good amount time, the more the better, send bearing/range again. Now you can use the speed estimate.

And as long as your PK is running you do not even have to have the scope up.

This is a giant leap over the Sh3 system, or, as I like to think of it, the "HEY...HEY... I"M OVER HERE...SHOOT ME NOW" system of speed estimation.

Are you sure the AOB is taken into account for the speed calculation? IMO it's not.
