Uboat manual targeting help!

That's pretty impressive. I have to say, I like doing the math, and I find the KiUB easier to work with than the TDC, but the aim is to put torpedoes on target and survive and there are lots of ways to do that.

In a certain sense however, the math can be fun...

sinking them is fun how that is accomplished is simply left to your discretion

Don't tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results.

Agree completely. US submariners wouldn't have sunk 5.25 million tons of Japanese ships by following rigid, outdated doctrine.

With the method I use, and since I have not kept a data log, I would say my fire to hit rate is 75% minimum.

If the OP is still checking this thread, I'd be interested to know how things are progressing?

Hi! Guys. I've just uploaded my SH4 OM gameplay videos to YouTube the other day.

It's not tutorial but it might help those who don't know how to use AoBFW to some extent.

Here's URL.

That's way impressive. When I eyeball shots like that (we all have to do it, at some point) I get probably a 1:6 (front tubes)/.5:4 (stern tubes) hit success rate. That's an 18%/13% ability to hit a given target. I avoid such situations as best I can. Because I'm not good at it...
