HOLY!

I have 8 mods and was thinking of dropping one.

I'll have to sort through your list. I DO like the look of your crew and interior.

Thank you.

4 bearing method is still the only realistic method to use for those concerned about the realistic play. Pinging a convoy is like and open invitation to be killed. But the 4BM require time and patience.

Usually, when Im tracking a convoy I do it on a more personal way. Im just listening very careful and try to determine if the contact is closing or not and what type of sound is it.. a convoy, a single target, warships etc. Then I mark the bearing, surface and race in that direction. Every 15 minute I dive, stop engines and listen again and so on until I make a visual contact with the target. After that, things are a bit more easy.. its time to determine a precise bearing, speed and also plan an attack depending on the convoy size, escorts, weather etc.

i like to play realistic also and i am an patient person... but after this sh5.exe patch i have not the patience to use the 4 bearing again... i use this method from tutorial only to hunt in heavy fog day and to find an cource of an hydro spoted contact...

Another way to hunt targets in poor weather like fog is to use the "Dick O'Kane" constant bearing method. It is similar to your tutorial but you don't need to know an exact range. Just an accurate speed, bearing and an accurate course. If you have these pieces of data, you set your sub up to be at a 90 degrees angle to the target's course and shoot when it crosses a fixed bearing. Usually 10 degrees to the right or left of your heading (depending on which direction its coming from). You set the TDC up much like stoianm shows here.

THere are many tutorials on this in the SH4 forums if anyone is interested. VEry effective for long range shots (with a visual on target) and very effective for sonar attacks but you should be closer to compensate for sonar inaccuracies.

if you play at 100% realism you can find an precise spead or cource only with for bearing methode (i think)... this methode ''Dick O'Kane'' can be used at 100% realism? If yes can you post an link pls?

Greetings!

Followed your Magnum Opus tutorial last night and everything is working great! I'm looking forward to watching your other tutorials this weekend. Thanks again for your efforts!

Hi,

i just made a new video tutorial:


stoianm How to intercept an convoy received by radio from BDU in SH5 with Real navigation and Realism 100%

1)How to use an radio mesage from BDU to calculate the convoy position
2)How to choose the best solution to intercept the convoy
3)How to calculate and find the time when you will intercept the convoy and put you in an good attack position


To play in this manner you need to have installed this mods:

1)NewUIs_TDC_6_4_0_ByTheDarkWraith or Magnum Opus
2)NewUIs_TDC_6_4_0_Real_Navigation











See post #1 for details

Very nice work my friend

Great tutorial videos stoianm. REally helpful.

I put a question about manual targeting in the SH5 TDC Tutorial thread but I don't think anyone has seen it. Here it is. Hoping someone can answer my question. I watched your tutorial on manual targeting but I still have trouble with AOB.

I'm used to SH4 which means I am used to the position keeper. Enter Uboat...no position keeper obviously. So what is the correct order of entering data into the TDC? I ask because every time I put my scope down ( to avoid detection) and raise it again to take a new bearing/range measurement, my AOB resets itself.

I've been doing this

1. Get target's speed through visual observations (using the 3min 15sec rule...mark target's position, wait 3 minutes and 15 seconds, mark target's position again, the distance traveled in meters corresponds to speed.)

2. Take bearing/range readings using stadimeter - enter them

3. Enter AOB (measure using navmap protractor tool).

4. Take one last range reading before firing (Note: I usually have to reset the AOB at this point because the last range/bearing reading seems to reset my AOB dial.

Am I doing something wrong?

Also, is the 3 minute, 15 second rule for taking speed measurements correct? In SH4 it was an even 3 minutes but when using meters as opposed to yards I believe it is 3:15.
