The greatest thing is that once you've mastered it, it isn't really any harder than most other "unassisted" methods of finding a solution.

I may have to print it out and create my own physical one for use in SH5. I saw in the mods section a proper TDC, so i could be off and running.

thanks, that's very flattering. It was me

what does this thing look like? It can more than likely be added to the game

This is the template for the whiz wheel to be printed out & made.

It seems OLC's targeting wheel is different though and both are needed. The olc targeting wheel basically went around your attack peri. I found a pic:

The real life kaleun had this exact wheel, a metal slider they used to calculate distance, speed, and aob to feed into the TDC.

OLC made a youtube vid with a nifty tutorial. I'll hunt it down later tonight.

that is the RAOBF. In my UIs mod in the torpedo box click the RAOBF button to show it.

This was my nightmare back in time, I always had a strong feeling of claustrophobia with that UI, was like being trapped into a heavy iron coffin with a very small hole to the outside world. It still makes me very uncomfortable looking at :/

Every tool mentioned here is already implemented in TDW and Reaper's UI.

Thanks for the replies. I'm up and running with everything. The only thing holding things up for now is that the targeting wheel on the attack peri is not working, i can't move the sliders. I'll work on this more though, if i can't figure it out i'll request help.

Pretty impressive so far. I'm not ready to declare sh3 gwx dethroned, but it's promising for sure.

*edit* slider wheel now working. Not sure what i was doing wrong...

Sorry, Joe. It completely slipped my mind that you were the creator of the on-screen whiz-wheel.

Here's the link to Joe's original thread,

and here's the picture of this great tool:
