Problem with Cromwell attack method

[timmyg00]

Hi folks,

I just started trying to use the Cromwell method. I have watched the tutorial and am using the crib sheet. I thought i was performing all of the actions in the correct order. However, when i view the attack map, the torpedo track shows a huge gyro angle away from the direction of the target. Has anyone else had this problem or something similar?

Thanks,

The angle is proportional to the target speed. If it angles a lot it's because the target is really haulin'....

A couple of thoughts here.
When you input data are you clicking the send to TDC button for each input?

The game won't send a good bearing unless there is a range to go with it,
pull the range triangle down to some range then point the scope to your lead angle and send to TDC Do not turn on the PK!

Your torpedo should have almost no gyro angle, 10 or 15°.

Thanks guys...

Target speed is low, and i input in the following order... speed (click-click), AOB (45-lead angle) (click-click), bearing/minrange (click-click). This is the same procedure shown in the video and the crib card.

Doesn't matter though, i have a workaround. I just zero out all the TDC settings so that the attack map shows a zero-gyro angle for my shot, and then shoot when the target gets to my desired lead angle. Works great so far.

Assuming you're doing the Cromwell method as written (i.e. 45 degree relative course angle), then you should be doing an AoB of about 35 degrees rather than 45, as you'll be firing pistols when they have an AoB of that amount.

Thanks, I wrote that to read "45 minus lead angle".

I now use the Solution Solver (thanks Gutted!) to get a more accurate firing bearing for the Cromwell method. Works great so far.

Can I come in here?

Correct me if Im wrong, so it should be subtracted since the angle is steeper as we are sending the data?

Thanks
