Calculating Range in Rough Weather

Lanzfeld lets say that my technique will be more accurate when the ship is on 90 degrees - but its not unposible to calculate speed when the ship in lets say 75 or 80 degree.

Dont forget that thise is a quick metod

You are all braver than me I even won't attack a convoy anymore in heavy fog.

Least time i tryed atack Convoy in heavy fog i almost end up in the bottom of the sea. Liky to me i manage to spot a DC just before he start to shoot on me with all guns.

yeah, I too think avoiding attack in a storm is most realistic approch. Chasing a convoy for days in a storm while hoping the weather turning good is very frustrating, and that seems like how the real life was. And don't attack under day light as well...

I use the same technic as Dimitrius07 for calculating target speed. You just need to be perpendicular to your target direction and 0 knot speed. I use this method since SH2 and it works very well!

try to match thier speed with a paralel course then go for a close range(500mish) 90deg shot , set bearing to 10deg AoB +/-10deg from their 90 estimate speed and range, when really close in theres alot of room for error so its not that hardl.when he crosses the 350/10deg mark (whichever way he is going) let loose with at least a 2 spread of torpedoes with about 2 or 3 deg split.this is definatly a submerged attack btw since you need your hydrophone in the worst weather but once he is within visual range you can usually surface with little risk of being spotted. also use T1 to increase accuacy
