Thanks Legion78. The vidoe was fantastic. Watching the action unfold "realtime" beats reading about the attack process in a manual.

I noticed that your second shot, while adjusted for degree spread, was launched without adjusting the torpedo to the same depth as your first shot. Was that by design? Were you anticpating a lower hull because of the impact of the first torpedo?

Thanks for your time.

Link seems to be dead, anyone else have a mirror?

Can Legion make this video subtitled? I'm deaf and subtitles will be nice.

JonB · 06-14-09, 09:52 AM

Yeah, I cant find the download either. I know it´s originally an old thread but it would be nice to see it anyway.

Thanks in advance

I can't seem to get to this download. I get redirected to gamefront.

Legion's Noob Guide lives! I have a copy safe and sound on my You Tube page. Let's see if there's a way to embed the video. Testing.....

I guess not but there's the link. The technique is a bit primitive but you have to remember that this was when SH4 was young and this video started all the purposeful explorations in how to make the game work very well.

Thank you, Robin, that Rocks. (Sorry, couldn't help myself.) Some good reminders, even for old hands, but great stuff for noobs. It was looking like this was lost to us, so thanks for resurrecting it.

One thing I typically do in prep, is to open ALL the doors that I expect to use (click on the tube, hit 'Q', then select the next tube and repeat). In the same process, I also individually select the speed setting I want for each fish. The TDC seems to 'remember' these settings as I go back to selecting the first tube. What I find strange, though, is that it doesn't seem to be able to remember individualised depth or spread settings, which is a shame. If you could pre-set every criterion for each fish in advance, you could get all your fish away in record time, for say, a fast-transiting battle ship where you want to visit destruction all along it's hull from your entire load.

A couple of times, if one has been at or below 20 knots, I have managed to get one by getting all fish away from both FORWARD AND AFT tubes, by selecting 'slow' on the forward tubes at about 2,500 (with spread, if I'm quick enough and she is slow enough), then turning for a set of 'fast' from the stern (so all fish arrive at about the same time - she doesn't have time to evade the next set that way. (For noobs, if she is steaming left-to-right, as in this tutorial, always turn to port - so you are not trying to 'chase' him with your turn - you'll see what I mean.)

Anywho. Thanks again for keeping this for us all.

I agree. Unfortunately, no one seems to know how to do this.

If I recall correct... (haven't played the game for some time) firing torpedoes close together will cause premature detonations.

I've read somewhere firing torpedoes 5sec apart lessens premature detonations.
