Default Thanks RR and wernersobe

I would just like to thank Rockinrobbins and Werner for their great tutorials. Werners vids, using TDC and PK finally had me understanding the difference between SH3 manual and SH4 manual targeting.

My inability to figure out how to use the PK, put me in a position were I tried the fast 90, which failed. Then RR's DOK method fell in my lap and I have never looked back. Smashing multiple ships in a convoy is once again a breeze. I have even become so comfortable with DoK, that I consistently put 100% hits on pairs of ships traveling in column.

DoK has netted me 68K on my current patrol.

- Huge euro liner and old liner travelling with 4 DD's (3 for the Huge euro, 2 for the old liner)
- Fuso BB in a massive TF. (4 fish, slam, bang on target. I think the 2nd fish might have hit a magazine, since many secondaries followed, sinking reported, then the last 2 fish struck home. Curious...) I would have liked to have spent tubes 5 and 6 on a heavy cruiser in the TF, but after about 20 secs after I fired my last torp I was driven under by a swarm of DD's.
- Tanker and small freighter (got 2 a piece from the aft tubes.)

(I still have 11 fish left. )

It's members such as RR and werner that I admire, who makes things easier for people willing to try manual targeting. So now in my arsenal I have Wazoo's manual targeting and plotting, RR's DoK and JP Cromwell, werners excellent TDC/PK video's. To make these work, thanks to Hitman, his guide on how to intercept contacts.

Gentlemen, I salute you.
