AoB finder wheel

[Sea Hawk]

I’m new to the simulation.
Got it 2 wks ago, I’ve got board of the easy settings and last night scored a couple of kills at reality over 70%.

These are excellent:-
The Hunt: An illustrated example of how to sink a ship
Wazoo's Manual Charting & Targeting Tutorial
Silent Hunter III Community Manual

I would love to try to the AoB finder wheel, but I've clicked on as many links as I can find and none of them work.

Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Might I suggest you make yourself one of these:




You can find the files necessary to build it in this thread:

I swear by my angriffscheibe.

I also never leave port without my Angriffsscheibe!

So it's easy to calculate AOB when you see ship icons on the map. I wonder how to calculate it without ship icons present ?

This also concerns in calculating target speed using 3.15 min tactic :\

what do you mean? I just mark first bearing contact, wait 3.15, mark 2nd on the nav map, draw a line to get course, I check my wheel and change course to get sth near AOB 90, then you calculate AOB once again before shot. I play at 100% on NYGM

This looks fantastic
I will make one tonight

Maybe I could use it in-game. Just not sure.. Do I need to use OLC GUI for that ?

I'm focused on one thing now. I need to figure out how to faithfully measure the distance to target in any weather while not using ship icons. Getting AOB and speed woun't be a problem I guess.

Two mods give you the whiz-wheel ingame: OLC-GUI and U-Jagd Tools. U-Jagd is the older and simpler mod; it gives you the tools to do the job. OLC-GUI adds on that and gives you a completely new screen to work with.

Either one is great to use for manual targetting.

Great! The in-game versions work well also, and some people swear by them, but personally I prefer something solid in my hand.

You could also use a generic slide rule. I used both a linear slide rule and a circular one before Hitman gave us this great whiz-wheel. The only difference with using a regular slide rule is you have to do one extra step to convert meters per second to knots.

Here's an interesting whiz wheel that only uses three bearings (at equal time intervals) to calculate the angle-on-bow. Speed and range are not involved.
