4 Bearing True Method Tutorial > Step By Step Instructions
It is recommended that you use this ‘Documented Tutorial’ in conjunction with the ‘First Part’ of the mod ‘Trevally Tutorial – All v0.2 (for OHII v1.3)’
This can be found by selecting ‘Tutorials’ and then ‘4 Bearings’ from the ‘Main SH5 menu.’
Select ‘Historical Missions’ >‘4 Bearing Tutorial.’
Select ‘Start’ and the Tutorial’ will then load.

This ‘Tutorial Document’ has been edited so you can use it in your game play.
It is assumed that you know how to use the map tools.
Replace the ‘Data’ you see here with your own.

1. This Tutorial is based on the first part of Trevally’s Tutorial where the 15 minute ‘Bearing Times’ have been used.
2. U-Boat speed >‘0’ Knots.
3. U-Boat > ‘Compass Bearing’ > 90 degrees.
4. U-Boat > ‘Depth’ > 25 Meters.
5. ‘Hydrophone Contact Bearing’ > 270 degrees.
6. Start > ‘Stopwatch.’
7. Time starting at ‘0 minutes for True Bearing 2.’
8. ‘Stopwatch Time’ >‘Each Bearing’ > 15 minutes.
9. ‘Plot’ > Bearing 1.
10. Convert > ‘True Bearing’ ’90 + 270 = 360 or 0’
11. Draw Bearing 1 from > ‘Navigation Fix.’
12. North > 0 degrees’
13. ‘Zoom out for accuracy.’
14. You can ‘Plot’ with ‘Game Pause’ on.
15. ‘Un-Pause Game’ to make any adjustments.
16. Draw out > ‘50km.’
17. Start ‘Stopwatch’ time > Each Bearing.
18. Trevally’ is using ‘15 minutes’ for this first example.
19. TIP >‘Compass’ place on top of the ‘Bearing 1 Line’ towards the top and draw it out towards the ‘Navigation Fix.’ ‘Zoom out for accuracy.’
20. ‘15 minutes’ later.
21. ‘Contacts > True Bearing 2’ > 56 degrees.
22. ‘Stopwatch’ started 2nd time for ‘Bearing 3.’
23. Total time ‘15 minutes.’ (True Bearing 2 > 56 degrees)
24. ‘Plot Bearing 2
25. ‘Navigation Fix’ > 56 degrees.
26. Draw out > 50km.
27. ‘Zoom out for accuracy.’
28. Take note the way ‘Contact’ is heading.
29. Bearing 2’ is ‘East of ‘Bearing 1’
30. ‘Zoom out for accuracy’
31. ‘Target’ moving > West to East.
32. ’15 minutes’ later > Bearing 3.
33. ‘Stopwatch’ started 3rd time for the ‘Predicted Bearing 4.’
34. Total time ‘30 minutes.’ (True Bearing 3 > 61 degrees)
35. As soon as we get ‘Bearing 3’ we must ‘Move the U-boat’ before we can take the ‘4th True Bearing.’
36. ‘Surface’ > U-Boat.
37. ‘Ahead Standard.’
38. Plot course ‘Towards’ and to the ‘Side’ of the last ‘Contacts Position.’
39. Bearing 61 degrees’ from > Navigation Fix.
40. Draw out ‘50km.’
41. ‘Zoom out for accuracy.’
42. To get > Contacts Heading.
43. Pick a point over half way up on the ‘Bearing 2 Line’ > ‘Mark’ with an ‘X.’
44. ‘Compass’ > on top of the ‘Bearing 3 Line’ towards the end and draw it out towards > ‘Navigation Fix.’
45. ‘Zoom out for accuracy.’
46. Take both ‘Compasses’ and place ‘Parallel Across’ the ‘X Mark’ you made on the ‘Bearing 2 Line.’
47. ‘Zoom out for accuracy.’
48. Draw a line ‘30 km’ long from where the ‘Bearings Cross’ each other.
49. Bearing Line 1 to > Bearing Line 3.
50. TIP > Sometimes it is easier to ‘Mark’ the two crossing points and then draw your line through them with the ‘Ruler.’ <
51. ‘Erase’ the > '2 Compass Circles.’
52. ‘‘Contacts Heading Line’ (CHL) > 151 degrees.
53. ‘Predict’ now > ‘Bearing 4.’
54. If the ‘Target is maintaining > Constant Speed.
55. ‘Measure’ the ‘Distance’ > ‘Compass’ between ‘Bearing 2’ > ‘Bearing 3.’
56. ‘Compass’ on > ‘X Mark’ > Bearing 2 Line.
57. ‘Compass Radius’ shows the ‘Distance’ between ‘Bearing 1’ > ‘Bearing 3’ remains constant if plotted correctly.
58. ‘Compass’ drag to where the ‘Bearing Line’ and > CHL Cross.
59. ‘Spacing’ showing on ‘Bearing 1’ and ‘Bearing 3’ must be the same.
60. The ‘Edge’ will show where to ‘Plot’ the ‘Predicted > Bearing 4.
61. Predicted Bearing 4’ > Draw so it matches the shape of the ‘Bearing 1 Line’ is to the ‘Compass Circle.’
62. ‘Predicted Bearing 4’ > Plotted.
63. ‘15 minutes’ have passed.
64. During that time we have:
65. Moved our ‘U-Boat
66. Dived
67. ‘Speed’ > 0
68. ‘Hydrophone’ > New Bearing 4.
69. ‘True Bearing > 350 degrees.’
70. Navigation Fix.
71. Stop the ‘Stopwatch no longer needed.
72. Total time 45 minutes.’(True Bearing 4 > 350 degrees)
73. Plot > Real ‘Bearing 4’.
74. Draw out ‘350 degrees’ from > Navigation Fix’ so it crosses the > Predicted Bearing 4 Line.
75. ‘Compass’ > make ‘Parallel Line’ > on 151 degrees ‘CHL’
76. ‘Compass from ‘CHL’ and place it ‘Parallel’ until it also ‘Crosses both the ‘True Bearing 4 Line’ and ‘Predicted Bearing 4 Line.’
77. This is the Line coming out from the U-Boat.
78. We now know where the ‘Target’ is.
79. ‘Compass’ > ‘Measure’ > Bearing 1 Line’ > ‘True Bearing 4 Line.’
80. ‘Target’ > ‘9,000 meters > 45 minutes.’
81. We can now find ‘Target Heading – Target Range – AOB – Speed.’
82. Go to the ‘Knots in Meters Per Minute Chart.’
83. ‘9000 meters’ > Targets Speed 6.5 Knots.
84. Although in this particular scenario ‘15 Minutes between bearings has been used you can use any time gap as long as they are the ‘Same between all Bearings.’
85. Personally I do not like to use less than 20 minutes as you need to be able to have the accuracy from the bearings you plot.
86. If the bearings are too close to each other then you will not be able to achieve this.
87. Always allow enough time for > Map Work.
88. The further away and ‘Slower the Target’ is you will need to allow ‘Longer Times’ between each ‘Bearings.’
89. Set up ‘Firing Position’ >90 degrees.
90. If playing with ‘Real Navigation’ > ‘Navigator’ > new position fix.
91. ‘Protractor’ on > ’90 degree Line’ to > New ‘CHL.’
92. Draw a line > U-Boat > ‘CHL’
93. This is > ’62 degrees’
94. ‘Firing Point’ now need to move > 4,200 meters.
95. ‘Surface the Boat.’
96. Order > ‘Ahead Slow.’
97. ‘Compass’ <> ‘Rudder’ > 62 degrees.
98. ‘Speed per Minutes Chart’ > 4,200 Meters.
99. Check set up on ‘Firing Line’ > 90 degrees.
100. Prepare your attack.
101. Good Hunting Captain.

These percentages do not apply if using The Wolves Of Steel mega mod.

Game Play Settings are selected from the Main Menu and then by selecting Options.

Game Play Option Levels:
Low > 2%
Medium > 38%
High > 77%
Realistic > 100%
Custom > % dependant on what is added or removed.

The default setting showing in Game Play Settings is always determined by the setting originally selected when a New Campaign is chosen.
Selections can be changed by either ticking, or un-ticking a box, this changes the default setting to become a Custom Game Play Setting.

Limited Batteries > Medium > High
When selected, the batteries that power your submarines electric engines are limited, this, in turn, limits the amount of time you can stay submerged before the batteries must be recharged.

Limited Compressed Air > High
When selected, your submarine uses an amount of compressed air to surface by blowing air in the ballast tanks.
If you exhaust your supply, you will have difficulties in bringing the submarine to the surface.
Compressed air is regenerated by your compressor when the submarine is running on the surface, so it is vital to keep that piece of equipment in good condition.

Limited O2 > Medium > High
When the submarine is submerged, the crew uses oxygen and generates CO2 (carbon dioxide).
Over time, the air will become un-breathable, affecting the performance of the crew and possibly even leading to their death.
When this option is selected, you must surface your submarine periodically to resupply your submarine with fresh air.

Limited Fuel > High > Realistic
When selected, your submarine has limited fuel, and therefore limited range.
You must return to base before your fuel supply is exhausted.
There are no refuelling submarines in the (stock) game.
You will get a warning during the patrol when you have used 50% of your fuel.

Realistic Repair Time > Medium > High > Realistic
When selected, damage repairs will take longer.

Manual Targeting System > High > Realistic
When selected, you must enter the appropriate information in to the TDC when firing torpedoes. You cannot simply point the TBT or periscope at a target and fire.

No Map Contact Update > Realistic
When selected, hydrophone and visual contacts will not appear on the navigation map.
Radio contacts, however will periodically appear on the map.

No Deck Gun Projectile Path > High > Realistic
The yellow line from the deck gun to the target is no longer shown.

Realistic Sensors > Medium > High > Realistic
When selected, the effectiveness of your hydrophone and radar is reduced.

Dud Torpedoes > Medium > High > Realistic
When selected, your torpedoes will periodically malfunction.
Malfunctioning torpedoes will either detonate too early, or not detonate at all.

Realistic Reload > High > Realistic
When selected, it will take a considerable amount of time to reload the torpedo tubes.

No Event Camera > Low > Medium > High > Realistic
When selected, the event camera is disabled.
You will not see your torpedo tracking to the target or when the target sinks beneath the waves.

No External View > Realistic
When selected, the external camera is disabled.

No Stabilize View > Realistic
When selected, your targeting optics (i.e the TBT and attack periscope) will be realistically affected by the submarines movement on the waves.
This will make targeting more difficult in rough seas.

No Ship Damage Meters > High > Realistic
No explanation available.

Regarding post #57, the four bearing tutorial. Please delete this if it's not appropriate to ask here.

The in-game four bearing tutorial text says the course of the ship is 206. I keep coming up with a course of about 198 after the third bearing reading. The true bearing for the contact in order are 56, 61, and 68 according to the tutorial text. I've gone through and done the map work twice and get the same result.

Any idea what I may be doing wrong? I did zoom in when drawing lines to get it as accurate as I could. I've done it enough that I get the concept and what I should be doing but I question it since I get a different result....

You did the right thing.

The in-game four bearing tutorial text says the course of the ship is 206.

Target's course is 151 AFAIK from the tutorial.

56, 61, and 68

68 will depend on where and how far you moved your boat too, as will be the distance to you take up to shoot at the target will be different between players IIRC.
Long time since I did this tutorial.
The tutorial is taken from Trevally's words and diagrams not from me.

The first three bearings are while not moving and I'm just using the numbers that the script is saying to use. Interesting that the target course of 151 and what I get, 198/9, is 360. I wonder if I'm reading the wrong side of the compass, lol.

Thanks for the input and I'll check to see if I may be reading something wrong. I've yet to play the game. Got it last week and I've just been watching videos about it.

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi b
Don't forget to get a true bearing which is essential you have to take your own course bearing into account as well.
That is why each time you do the tutorial the last bearing is likely to be different because you have moved the boat.

Can i count the RPM and determine the speed with WOS mod?
I am in doubt because the mod page say its obsolete but here says update in 2018
