SH3-Style "Weapon Officer Assist"

MRV · 03-12-11, 02:11 PM

Most of you will remember that option which IMHO was the most realistic tradeoff between having things too easy with auto targeting and having to do all things yourself with manual TDC. I just thought its the most authentic way to aim at a ship and then let your WO do the calculation for the torps.

I noticed this feature was absent in SH4 and 5, but the command is still in the WO menu, so is it possible to bring this ability back, along with the "identify target" option?

In the MO (mega mod) by TDW the WO will ID targets for you.

There is also an automation script (by clicking the automation button on the right side of screen) that will inform you of the target range and AOB.
This can then be manually entered.
I think it comes under "Tutorials-Sub-Tell Me Range and AOB" in that auto page.

OK I'll try. Right now I'm using the other Mega Mod Collection by Obelix.

There is not really one, just a button to send range and bearing to TDC and one to use the stadimeter. Problem is I really suck at manual TDC and always get something like 350 knots calculated for speed.....ever sunk a 747?

There are some in game tutorials within TDW's MO that take you through
manual target step by step in a test mission.

A good first stage is the "fast90" one. It is very easy and works everytime.
There are also tutorials for getting Range, AOB and Speed. Try these when you are used to the fast90.
