The time compression it wants me to go to is 1024.......

I can only set it as high as 32.....

If you goto your nav map - you can set TC higher than 32.
32 is the limit when in 3d mode

Welcome to subsim btw

One tactic eludes me. In the movie Das Boot (I am sure almost everyone has watched it ) there is a scene where the boat performs a surface attack in the fog. The boat is speeding towards the convoy, the convoy is moving, and they fire torpedos and HIT. So my question is......has anyone tried this in sh5?? With manual targeting and full realism ofcourse??

My other question is. I have been watching stoianm1 tutorials. Stoianm always takes one reading and gets everything right. As far as I can see he eyeballs the stadimeter, but still gets right measurements. When I calculate, I have to make adjustmets a lot of the time, if I don't, ,my eels miss. Now I am not a noob and I have sunk my fair share of ships.

My point is.....does anyone else have the feeling his instruments aren't working quite so right??
The same thing is with the 4 bearings method. I posted a thread about this a while back, but no matter what I do........no matter....I always get the 4th bearing wrong. It's not my fault I do everything in the video......the target is sometimes 3000 meters away. Good course but not good distance.

He practiced many times im sure

If you have time - take many readings and fire one or two torps.
If you have no time - take one reading and fire a full salvo
