Unfortunately I never stored this PDF on my harddrive.

But ..... it was stored here on subsim allready in the Download-section

Thank you very much for this post. I was looking all over for the pdf version.
Does anyone happen to have a copy of the online community manual?

It's terrible to see such a valuable resource go missing. I would be happy to host it if someone has a copy of the content.

Great demonstration - thanks! It's still helping skippers find targets, 8 yrs after the OP, which says something about Subsim and the SH community. Pretty amazing, really.

It's great to see it done with proper geometry. But I must boastfully say, I've always done it by guesstimation (pretty new to SH 3-4, but played endless SH2 back in the day), and I was able to guess the convoy's track in the original example within 1-2 degrees in 3 seconds just by eyeballing. With the initial, given speed and heading info being so vague (+/- 12.5 degrees heading, +/- 50% speed...), I figure eyeballing is usually good enough. I've missed my share of intercepts, though, (probably by "overthinking," non-methodically), so I will give this method a try and see if it gets me more intercepts.

In a way, doing it by math will be EASIER than eyeballing and guesstimating - less stress about whether it's a good course etc. And the map tools are fun to play with. So I will try this, and I will enjoy it more when I hear screws closing slow at 270, on schedule.

Again - Thanks!

I couldn´t see if it´s mentioned, but Dantenoc did also an outstanding video tutorial then which is still available on youtoube:

Further, he did some hardcore navigation trials with Silent Hunter:

Finally, Paul "Wazoo" Wassermann´s tutorial is still available on his site (without pics). Only the adress has changed:

http://www.paulwasserman.net/

Maybe one could update Dantonoc´s first post?

Happy hunting!

A couple of months later he did start this thread publishing the videos:

My request for an update of the first post concerned the outdated link to Wazoo´s tutorial. But thank you although for giving that link to the video thread! It´s still interesting to reread that discussion

Wazoo and Dantenoc were my teachers for learning manual targeting und for long range interception. Their tutorials are benchmarks!

Just checking if anyone has an active link to the PDFs from this tutorial? Looks like the author's site is gone.
