Firing blind

[Mush Martin]

Help yourself to the screenie anytime, and true what you said platapus
but I will go further, the first time and the first succesful clean get away
are the two that make our hearts beat for the game.

I must say, it have never occured me to stay paralel to the target, and fire all bow and stern torpedoes at the same time.

Consider the timing between first hit and last

martin, thats the best salvo I've seen so far. PLEASE do a tutorial on how you did it. a video about alignment, firing timing, and orientation to path would be in order.

Yes that was a nice shot, well I didn't do it in SH4 but in 2, sub vs sub used sound, got the track, set gyros to zero waited till it sounded like it was crossing the bow gave in 10 degrees lead and fired, in all the excitement I don't know if I fired 1 or 4, oh that's another story but I got the sub. I notice in SH4, that if you are within 800 yards set gyros to 0 ship speed to 0 and 10 degrees lead fire 3 shots, normally get a couple of hits. Heck the TDC would put torps on target if data input is correct with minimal scope observations.

Hmmm a tutorial, well I learned it from Wernersobe's videos.

the only really spectacular things about this shot are distance and
simultaneity. Now firing all ten in sequence most can manage I am sure.

the rest really executes more like a lab shot than a war shot.

basically get way out in front of the formation, accurately predict the enemy
track with precision, lay off the appropriate number of kilometers perpendicular
from the track.
achieve perfect station keeping (none movement) at peridepth.
this reduces your probability of errors by 50%
basically beam on at 90 degrees to target point for a full spread.
mark out a circle denoting max torpedo range,
mark enemy track through circle.
refine speed and ship ID.
open all tubes
when ship crosses intersection of circle and track
Lock PK set to correct range as denoted by the circle track intersection.
and commence to shootin.
after all tubes are closed Book directly perpendicular away from enemy
track for a few minutes building momentum because the formation
cant hear medium performance at this range.

go quiet

Boom.


simple

(look closely at first screenie for details, all the info on how is in the screenie sequence)
(what it all comes down to is accurate PK info and lock)

Set the range to maximum and send it to the TDC (move the compass thingy around until it's at the highest number).

Your torpedo solution should show up on the attack map now.
