[REQ] Bring back old targeting - Page 2

robbythesub · 03-09-10, 04:12 PM

I really dont understand the targetting system at all, and the manual is useless- how on earth does one find out?

I'd really like the old targetting system back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:da mn:

Frnocom · 03-09-10, 04:20 PM

I for one at least want an indicator that tell the torpedo's gyro angle.

And sombody please port Magui's SH3 GUI over to SH5

!!!

Baby steps, baby steps.

I am glad it is not too easy, just wish I knew how it works!

gimpy117 · 03-09-10, 04:38 PM

well and the stademeter is completely messed up...where do i take range from? oh i dunno lets play enny meeny miny moe to find out!

one destroyer i use the mast (which i cant see too well anyways because its very hard to see with the current system) and get an estimated speed of 9 knots (which was wrong anyways) and the next i use the same point and get a speed of 79 knots

And it is possible to increase the numbers 1-2-3 in place to make 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 ????

Webster you can still point and shoot,just tell the weapon officer to turn the TDC OFF

kptn_kaiserhof · 03-10-10, 10:44 AM

Ringy · 03-10-10, 11:46 AM

Do I understand it correctly?
So when I choose manual targeting from the options and then turn off TDC I get sh3/sh4 style auto targeting where i point and torpedo (magicaly) hits the ship where my periscope points? And when I turn manual targeting off from the options and turn off TDC I get this stupid connect the dots minigame?

Edit: I tried switching to manual targeting and I still get connect the points auto targeting, so what did you mean?

Gato76 · 03-10-10, 02:41 PM

As soon as you tell the weapon officer to turn off the tdc lock on the target and u will see those realistic icons,the red yellow and green triangles on the periscope,just fire away

utops · 03-10-10, 03:06 PM

Nope,this is not working,from tutorial i saw by malkuth 74,you must connect the dots 1 to 1 of the ship for close distance 2 goes for medium and 3 for long and by long i mean 1800m HEHE.
Triangle is useless.
In Sh3/4 you simply can point on the specific part of the vessel and los eel,thats it.

bigboywooly · 03-10-10, 04:09 PM

Does indeed turn yellow and green but not hit anything using the green
Doesnt marry up with the dots when have tried it
Get better results with DG but wont be able to use that forever
