I've been playing with manual targeting for a year. Now I found an even more interesting feature - doing manual targeting without the lock function, as there was no lock target in WW2 TDCs. The key here is learning how to estimate the range to target, as AOB and speed are easy to "guesstimate". Finding the range without locking is however the hardest challenge, especially in heavy seas.

Once you fell into the dark side there is no return, young padawan

Muahhhhhaahhah

I loved AOD and consider it the best subsim ever done, but once I got hooked by the manual targeting I could no longer return to AOD. This thing is addictive, and it even got me started in doing wiz wheels and such.

BTW Packerton, I really recommend you to build one of the availables, it really gives you that feel that is the ice on the cake.

If after a number of patrols you find that manual targeting starts getting a little redundant, the next immersion step would be to add manual navigation. Turning that on a few months ago made this game look brand new again after playing it for almost two years.

I'm really enjoying the "GWX - 100% - manual targeting - manual navigation - DiD" combo of the game and feel that $29 I spent back in summer '05 was one of the best transactions ever made!!

My next move/wish is to sail in a real WWII U-boat (if I can find one)

ronbrewer · 06-07-07, 11:14 AM

Yes, I agree that sailing in a real U-boat would raise the immersion factor a bit, but it would probably come in at a price tag well above $29.

Lol yeah, how cool would that be? Can imagine Bernard yelling ALLLAAARRRRMMM when he sees an airliner lol.
