Bringing this manual back to the surface

GOZO · 05-12-09, 04:12 AM

Hi everyone!!!

I just want to make everyone aware of this little gem posted back in 2007 and still valid.

The INSRM manual or Imperial Navy Ship recognition Manual containing tables for quick reference when doing manual targeting!

I searched for it but could not find it easily and thought the rest of the community could benefit from using it. Finally I traced it and have it for download on my own filefront account.

"Centered75" made it in a pdf-format for all of us to share. Thanks matey!!

I have been using it since and it is still valid for TM1.7 minus a few new ships but those can easily be added with some work. (I have also made a simple version for SHIII and the ships in GWX3).

Here is a new link for download:

Enjoy!

Post Edit: As you can see it also takes care of determining speed. Just clock the time for the ship to pass the crosshairs and look in the table. = speed!

That is a great thing !

RFB fiddled with mast heights I'm afraid but this shouldn't ruin the use of this manual. Should be available for watching in-game, though

Actually I have an original USN recon manual where i can pick the neccesary data on length and mast height of US/British military vessels.

I am experimenting with an excel sheet now trying to recreate what Centered75 did and I have so far got it working. => means that i can calculate new tables for the added ships in the recon manual.

+ of course being able to do so for the US ships in a IJN manual..(when time permits)

The models of the ships in RFB and TM look the same graphically meaning any values on the different mods dont affect this at all unless someone have redrawn the model itself.

What I say is that it is the "ratio" between the length and height measured in marks that is essential. => should not matter which mod you use if you have a correct basic value.

Another example on measured aspect ratio: (My own screens)

The above means 2 x 7 Divided by 5. The go to the table and ta ta: Akizuki in this case has a 28,5 degrees AOB.

I will be back with more!

Cheers
