target speed: the eighty-ten method

You need an example where the ONLY data you have is a closing target at some arbitrary bearing. Then you put in on 80, and tell us the AOB. You cannot get the speed without knowing the AOB.

The game does cheat and gives you a speed range (I don't even know what that range is in TMO or RFB, since I've never considered using it past its face value). That in fact does limit the future position possibilities for the target, but doe NOT force it to be 10. It means that there is an arc that the target could be in. If the speed is known to be 8-12 knots, and the underwater max of the sub is 7, then you can know for sure the closing target is within an angle such that the projection of speed on that right triangle is under 7 knots. assuming you can hold the bearing.

The AOB is still in a decent sized arc, and values are in fact infinite within that arc.

in your imagination tater, and your right, when i design a mission, how could i not know the values, im putting them in, its obvious.

but, and theres the but again, what explains me making it possible, in the movie, which were campaign encounters? what explains that?

that was random, you dont get it, or refuse to see it, i didnt plan that, those ships came at me from random, and it was made.

i gave you a challenge, dont cop out on me, if you want a mission that all i know is a that a closing target is closing, then make one, or pick one out,
simple man, just pick one out if your to lazy to make one, many missions have been made, thats the challenge that you refused, why?

i told you, anytime, anywhere, any mission, dont cop out, im waiting!

i'm waiting tater!


btw, you seem to think that the game cheats, maybe so, it give a speed range, so what!

have you ever listened to the sonar tapes at nha? i guess there just pulling numbers out of their hats to.

anyway, back up your perspective, and dont cop out or boob out on me and the community, i think they would like to see you back up your perspective, see if your right, me too! try me! im waiting!
