Good suggestion

I have one more: rather than entering numerical TDC data into the XO dialog, you can set AoB, target range and target speed directly using the TDC knobs on the right of the scope view

Thanks Trevally and Gap.
Thats a few good suggestions
I never thought about the knobs, I`ll definitely will start to use them.

Better yet, you can activate voice command and tell your Weps what to put into the TVR. That's how R/L Kaleuns did it. I doubt you will find a first-person account of a real U-boat commander turning the knobs on the TVR. Voice command in SH5 is well-integrated, easy to use, and reliable. Data entry is accurate and you don't have to jump the mouse from periscope control to the TVR knobs. Or take your eyes off the scope view. You can keep tracking that escort while Weps sets up the TVR.

I'm sure we can assume that as we turn those knobs - it is a representation of the chain of command and at the end point - the knob is turned

Is this another mod? I`ve seen Stoianm use it.
Seems like allot of fun, though. Maybe I use that for season two

Just watched part 4 - very good

For your patrol - I would head to Scapa and attempt that mission. Time is short for that one and you have lots of time for the coastal water mission. You do not need to select it to complete it.

If you do go - my vote would be to enter from the east as U-47 did (plus you get to see the nice block ships)

Hey Trevally,
I just started this up again after a good time away (taken me so far about a week to sort out mods and get it working up to scratch), and am just onto coastal waters, must be late Sept at the moment just off Edinburgh. Whats the time scale for Scapa?
Thanks.

Yes the scapa flow attack would be great. I think the best entrance is on the east site too.
