Always miss just behind merchant!!

sirbum69 · 11-21-11, 08:19 PM

So i have been trying the 4 bearing meathod latly that i watched a tutorial on from Stoin. I use to be able to do this just fine, but ever sence i came back it seems like every shot i take always goes behind the target.

At first i thought it was the speed of the boat was wrong, but this last time i had tool tips on so i knew her speed was 13. Which when i measured out the distance between the first mark and the third mark i had come out with 7. Not sure why that is. On this last run, i shot three torps, 1 on the front, 1 on the middle and one at the end of the ship. All three torps passed just behind her, by like meters. I was doing the fast 90 attack so range shouldnt have been a factor.

Only thing i have noticed is that everytime i hit the "Z" key to get nearest contact while doing the plotting is that it will say like 83 degrees but then the sonor man voice will actully call out 82 degrees. the difference between what the sonor man calls and what shows when i hit the Z key is always 1 degree more. i dont remeber ever haveing that issue before. anyone have any idea what this could be or what my problem is.

Are you opening your torp doors before you fire

+1 on the opening doors first, its a very common mistake

also dont underestimate the ship may change course if they spot your scope so limit how long you keep it up and it greatly increases your accuracy

Arh-ha! ...... thats what I'm doing wrong ..... thanks!

sirbum69 · 11-22-11, 04:19 PM

Nope doors are always open first, so i know that wasnt it. As for the scope i usally only keep it up 15 secs at a time, for the reason. But thank you for the input. like i said i think it has to do with him calling out the degree himself always being 1 degree different then when i hit the Z key. because after 4 times of that im 4 degrees different with my map work.

4 degrees may be the reason its happening.

a simple solution might be to just target the bow and that should put you at midship

also are you still off the same amount when firing the stern tubes?

sirbum69 · 11-22-11, 07:01 PM

hmm not sure about the stern tube. Dont think i have ever tried shooting one of those. I know i just did the travelly tutorial on 4 bearing all over again to see if i was doing something wrong. Other then my lines not being the same as his.

Im wandering could all this be caused because i am using the mano scope mod 16:9 when in fact my resalution is 1440x900, which i believe is actully 16:10. Could that cause all my problems?

Im going to uninstall that scope mod and give it try and see
