Looking for info on TDC use

1 looks like the AOB angle. It is used and can be set in SH3.

2 looks like the target speed dial. It is also settable in SH3.

Hi Sharbit, thanks for reply.

No 1 is definitely the Impact or Track Angle - but I'm unsure as to how it works, anyone got a diagram of what this does in relation to the Torpedo Solution.

The Target Speed is the dial between 1 and 3 with the Torpedo speed Inner dial. I'm unable to find any info on the bottom left dial (2 in pic) it appears to go from 0 to 60 and have a continuous rotation needle.

hi Reaper7 ,

the impact angle is calculated through two angles the (Aob at bearing 0) and the (Gyroangle)

in the case that is drawn at the following pic we have : (Aob at bearing 0) = (Gyroangle) + (Impact Angle)

Sweet stuff Makman

Your drawing works perfectly to illustrate.

Excellent Makman, that explains it perfectly, true what they say 'A picture paints a thousand words'.
Easier than I expected using the law of the triangle being 'all angles equal 180' the Impact angle can easily be worked out.
Cheers Mate, I'll see whats possible to get this working in SH3.

Reaper you TEaSE.............

Its ok though.So this dial be useful in telling you if the torpedo will hit in the recommended angles.....pretty kool.

Cheers LGN1. Another question is there a list of Dial types anywhere ?
I'm looking in the dial.cfg file

eg:

Type=1; DIAL_SPEED
Type=4; DIAL_THROTTLE
......
.........
Type=42; DIAL_TGT_ANG_ON_BOW

There is no dial type 2 or 3 and many more are not listed.
Anyway to find out if all values are hardcoded and if so can these be used?
I'm trying to find a dial type thats not used ingame to use for the Impact Angle Dial.
