Huh guys i just scored a perfect hit from about 2,2 km, and all thanks to math.

Heres what i've done, didnt see that other people do this, maybe im wrong but i got to show u.
1. i was a bit slow, and couldnt get to good shooting position, so i did the math

I measured distances of these numbers, and it was
A1-B1=250
A2-B2=900
B2-C=1050
B1-C=x
so 250: x=900:1050 ... 900*x=1050*250 ... x=(1050*250)/900 ... x=291,6 ..so x= around 300, i just then measured 300 from B1 to C, aim and shoot 2 torps
and heres the result:


Notice my u-boat spead is about 8 knots, i thought i would miss it for 100-200 meters, but it went right to center, my best shoot ever, and for the first time i split ship in half

Only thing that is, lets call it malfunction, is that when i measure distances it rounds them up to 50, so i can't measure 35m or something like that, i know that i had luck here, couse i got preety good number at the end around 300 and then i could easily aim, but if it was 270 i wouldnt have a chance to score, my torpedo would go 25m to left or right... anyway is there a MOD or something to measure distances more precisely?

So thats a bit showing off, but till now this was just a game for me, now it's something more

So u guys aim like this when using auto TDC? or is there yet better way. i tried without these numbers 1,2,3 but its not working for me, i supose that is called manual TDC. and is there a name for these numbers 1,2,3? Im still a rookie, but for now it's going good, i just learned that torpedo's are called eels

and one more thing, i apologize in advance for my writing,if u notice a mistake just ignore it, i think that this community is smart enough to know what i mean, english is not my language, but i try to do my best. I just say this couse i had little missunderstandings on some other forums where we went offtopic becouse of it... anyway thats all folks
