Need help activating OM

I'm goin' down · 01-17-11, 11:16 PM

where do I look to manual taget in the UBoat missions? I do not understand the method, although I understand it in the context of US subs in the Pacific Campaign?

Do I read and study the post for SH3?
What does pistol mean?
How do I determine and input target speed, range and Aob?
Those are a few of the basic questions. Remember, I have never played SH3!

I'm glad your game, playing the Germans is a bit more fun IMHO.

Pistole is the detonator type.
You now have 2 types (excluding sub-types) of torpedos- steam and electric, so be mindful of your loadout, and choose wisely. And remember in port torpedos MUST be loaded manually- so you can choose what goes where.

The TDC can be found on the scope side panels as well as on the tracking chart. The stadiometer is displayed when you press the little red light at the center/top of the scope display (took me a while to find it), and if you need to play with targeting help you can 'go manual' when the urge hits you by pressing the red button on the targeting chart. Keep in mind you wont have radar, nor active sonar so it will be a challenge, but rewarding. Also, all ships appear as neutral, so you'll need to ID them before sinking them.

Good luck
