By the way, Shooting Gallery Test Range has been repaired and I even added a guest star, the Yamato. These are an array of targets which will not power up and motor away. I dare you to surface and engage the Yamato in a gun battle.

Dick O'Kane Sonar Only Tutorial

Having a great time with You Tube and some music in my videos. Let's see, 1971 was 42 years ago. I used a piece of music from Pink Floyd's Meddle album, which nobody ever heard of even in 1972 and they flagged it for copyright violation.

This is going to hurt their sales, how? There is a clear and present danger that someone would hear the music, be intrigued and read the source of the music clearly expressed in the supporting text, along with a strong suggestion that people buy the album. I'm advertising for them for free! They should owe me, not the other way around. I think the legal system is whoever claims foul first is the winner. There's certainly no sense to their idiocy.

But I have a new link in the first thread in the post, plus the link above. I hope to be working on some new videos soon, including one on conventional United States Navy manual targeting, where I'll have some wrinkles not covered in any present tutorial.

I always try to hit Convoys abeam, I sit silent just off to the side engines dead which usually lets the lead escort pass me unnoticed then I fire off a couple fish and turn away immediately, usually works.

Werner's Sonar only attack is a dud link?

Digger Heinz · 11-09-13, 06:49 PM

I just wanted to take a moment to say thanks for the thread and all who participate... it means a lot that noob like me can come here and get info that makes the game so much more fun than dumb luck and trial and error.

Thanks!!!

I, too, want to thank all of the modders and people who have contributed to this massive list of items!

Reading the real TDC manual really humbles me. IT really makes you appreciate what people have been able to do. It blows my mind that years ago mankind could generate mathematical solutions using mechanics... and today we barely understand how to download apps..

WernerSobe's Sonar Only Manual Targeting doesn't work. The Link has died. The same situation with Dick O'Kane Sonar Only (after waiting few seconds "403-Forbidden" occurs). May anyone correct it or suggest any materials instead of these? I'm new here and the first thing I want to do is learn how to hunt correctly

. Best regards!

Great thread : )

Hi,
I would like to try my luck with 100% reality settings in the game options. I know my way around the TDC fairly well but i want to know more about tracking and intercepting a target or a convoy without map updates, how it was done using sound and visual observation and later adding radar in the mix.
Any good tutorials out there?

Rockin Robbins · 07-01-14, 08:13 PM

Hi, I'm back. I think a UFO crashed in my back yard and has been messing up my computer for the past year. Between video card death, hard drive death and Windows XP death, it's been pretty eventful. Now I'm up and running with a terrabyte hard drive and Windows 7 so looks like I'm good.

Now to get SH4 back up. I'm afraid I've probably lost my save games but I'm probably not good enough to play advanced stuff right now anyway. New beginnings are fun anyway.

I have the WernerSobe video, so I'll work on getting that back up. I have a headset that doesn't plug into USB so I can make videos again. Yikes! Who would think that the computer would have to treat a USB microphone as a new sound card and refuse to mix other sounds in there? My next idea was a mixer board, which I do have access to.

Looks like I have to read the thread on SH4 and Windows 7! At least I could avoid Windows 8. What a travesty that is! I have no idea what Microsoft could have been thinking.

I suppose it is better to check the flag and know your firing at the enemy yes rather than to fire and not worry about it?

Naw!!!!! Forgeddaboudit! What's the WORST that could happen?

merc4ulfate · 07-06-14, 10:25 PM

I have fished a few friendlies a time or two ... A carrier and an large tanker for twosies. I stopped just short of sinking them when I saw the flag but they certainly were not happy with me.
