Quick Question on Manual Range Estimation for the TDC

06-10-09, 07:01 AM

I did on purpose very inacurate range and I got a hit.

Here are a screenies:

I made this test in Naval academy torpedo tutorial. True range to target is 1400 meters but I did it as it was 8000 meters.

Am I missing something ?

Because you fired from a small range and with a fairly small gyro angle?

Fire at all the other targets with incorrect ranges and see what happens.

OLC is completely right, here's a more detailed explanation of why range sometimes matters:

This is an experiment that I did which shows similar results
