Manual targeting in 1.3

Tobus · 07-15-07, 05:16 AM

Since the last patch, I can't seem to hit anything anymore on manual targeting.

I ID the ship
I set range with stadimeter
I set AOB
I do estimate of speed
I do everything above again, so that I have (at least) 2 estimates.

When I go to attack map and look at what the TDC has computed, It's totally off, usually a little on range and a lot on speed. I have just loosed 7 fish on a convoy of 8 and haven't hit ONE ship within 800 meters.

I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong, but for the life of me I can't figure it out.
I sure didn't have this before patch 1.3, though I had to guestimate speed myself. Guestimates I do now are comparable with the estimate the TDC gives me, but shots keep going short or long.

Any pointers? (I wish I had a WO like in SH3, to reference my solution with his).
