What is the range tables ?

Depending on the mod you are using, neutrals would be lit and clearly marked, but if you can't identify, then don't shoot. Or shoot and risk what can happen. Yesterday I sent to the bottom a greek neutral in 1941

A method of knowing wether friend or foe is (Asuming you are against a single ship) to shoot with the deck gun in front of him. If he starts zigzagging and even replying to your shot, you can be sure it is enemy and attack him.

Sorry, by "identifie" I meant "what type of ship is it". But it's probably the same answer: I can't.

Well, that all is what 100% realism is about, isn't it?

Yep it is probably. It just that I can't found the interest to be unable to play the game.
But I will do my best to understand.

Yeah with a good GUI you should be able to get pretty precise range, aob and speed estimates. I just started using the OLC GUI and I like the range disks in it. And I just started playing without using the Free cam(F12) It's still on for taking screenshots but when following my torpedoes I use the hydrophone now, it's the next best thing to being there.

Also last night I decided to stop making attacks if I can't visually ID the target. This is for reasons of nationality but mainly for saving torpedoes. (unless I can use the 88mm)

You really make me want to play in 100%.
I've never done before, now I still try to hit the target and it goes back regularly ...
I am going to test this GUI then I'll go into 100% because after 3 years of "kinder game" it is time to use SH3 as a professional.

Thanks.

See you later....perhaps.

What's funny is when I started playing SH3 it was the first time I ever SEEN a sub game forget played one, yet I stuck on manual aiming and everything else but the event cam and the external cam. It took me like a month before I was able to hit anything.

Now I can usually hit whatever I aim at but then I stuck OLC GUI on. Had to re-learn it all, but this time it only took like a day. But after seeing stock and a new GUI, I would have to say nothings better than a good GUI. Now I can get Range and AOB instantly. I had to guess before
