SH4 1.5 List of things that annoy you

[Rockin Robbins]

Primary system was to do the adjustments just as we do in the game, through the TDC, reusing the setting cranks as you selected one torpedo after another. The torpedo crew checked the settings.

If the settings were not input into the torpedoes accurately by the TDC, the crew set the torpedoes directly to correct. But whether you set from TDC or the crew did it, each torpedo was set individually and had no memory.

Naturally they wanted the TDC to work because the position finder continually adjusted gyro settings until the moment of firing. The crew really couldn't update continuously like that.

And earlier there was a beef about no decent maps of the ocean bottom. Well, the WWII boats had NO maps of the ocean bottom, just the normal maratime charts if they were lucky. Often they went with a map from National Geographic that might be 20 years old. Yes, it was that bad. We live in paradise in the game and love to complain about it.

It wasn't until after the war in the 1950s that Archerfish did the very first ocean bottom surveys to begin to form the incredible data we have available to us today.
