Manual TDC and a general question

ichso · 04-24-09, 03:02 AM

The manual TDC inputs are at the attack map, the one for speed too.

You can either update the AoB before firing or use methods with a preset firing solution - see mainly the SH3 forums for that. Fast-90 tageting should be one of those things you would be looking for there.

Also helpful might be the AoB wheel which saves you from computing AoB in your head. You only need to know the target's course, your own heading and bearing to target for that.
I found that thing around here somewhere too, but there's also a version of it in the SH3 mods forum (IIRC it was one of Hitman's mods). You need to print it and put it together, but it isn't that much of a work.

*OR* wait for OLC's GUI mod (SH3 also) to be made ready for SH4

the addon is bugged.

go to the attack map (next to navigation map), there you can set all up for the shot. keep update map activated and have your shot from there...

everything else will become a real pain in the a.s

What do you mean by 'bugged' ?

Have you ever managed to setup a correct firingsolution on a german boat without the "update map" feature using the attack map, with 1.5 stock version?

If yes, you have my respect

With a U-boat and 1.5 stock I'm afraid I have to say no ^^. I just tested the TDC and the settings and everything seemed fine.
That's why I asked for the particular bug you meant.

try posting in the ATO forum, its for the uboat side of the game and you should get some help with this problem over there

I check that out after trying the suggestions made. The thing is I must be getting better because last night, before I discovered the problem, I was actually able to sink a ship. 2 hits and one dud. The thing is, had I not heard about plotting on the attack map today, I would not have been able to go after the other ships because the speed thing was way off.

So what's the problem there? People have been doing that for ages in SH3, and here the only difference is you can't use notepad.
