Default Long time away

It has been awhile since I played SH4 but since I have no more classes because dam school schedualing. Anyways I back into the deep only this time I am trying Manual targeting. Not doing so good wasted about three fish. I followed the dam estimated speed but did I notice that I knocked out his engines NOOOOO! once I realized my mistake set the right speed of Zero and put one right down the tube and sent him to the vast deep. ****! I hope COMSUB doesn't take out of my pay

in adjusted 1941 dollars thats approximately $10,000/torp
adjusted for inflation deflation and the global conspiricy of
the Illuminati. today it would cost approx. im not real certain
but at a guess $280,000 a copy for a MKXIV
(Includes complimentary invoice in duplicate at least)

Use sparingly

Welcome back to the SH4 experience , check out some of the stickies regarding Manual Targetting, they should assist you some. Also do a search on the topic and you probably will come across some useful information in older threads.

Ha ha thats good. Thanks for the tips reallydedpoet. I think the hardest part for me is getting the ship ID correct before they spot me. I usually lock scope and pause. Is that considered cheating to get the correct ID? Usually takes me a few......

I really cant say it's cheating. (flame shields to max) but a captain would have a whole tracking party to help set up the approch and classification of a ship on his discription

You don't have to identify your target at all...

Get in class!

Thanks for the class link. I will give it a read and will try to apply it.

I respectfully disagree (no flames, no shields). You ended with the phrase "on his description", and that's the key: the captain is the one looking at the target, and he is the one who has to make the ID. He can't pause the game, so I think it is cheating.

But that's an opinion, nothing more.
