How do you make a FAST torpedo solution?

Hi XS

But what do you do in the following scenario:
Your sonar reports a target closing that must be as close as 1500m.

Sonar should be reporting a contact at over 20km away.

In this tutorial you do not see the target as all the information comes from the sonar.

It's dark night, assume you see pretty nothing,

Unless it is a medium or heavy fog then your watch crew should be reporting a visual contact depending on the conditions.

Another way you can calculate the targets speed as long as you know it's length.

If you are able to identify the target then this is useful tutorial.

Thank you very much, Cyborg, Peter, for your useful infos, I will go through it. Playing SH5 in realistic mode is harder than I thought, also it's the only SH in the series where I feel the pain of a commander making right decisions that are on the balance

For the 'Jagd'-Chrono procedure the target must be at pretty right angle to be precise, also the zoom factor of your optics doesn't matter, right ?

Thanks for taking the time to go through my (too long) post, I appreciate

No is the answer for both questions...But you should move as slow as possible or put the target at your 12 o'clock while taking measurement.

Hi XenonSurf

I should of put U-jagd to be exact , it works at any angle any zoom, its a little more difficult to judge the bow and aft of the ship at too acute an angle that's all. The length of the ship only needs to be approximate to get a reasonably accurate speed calculation

and yeah I forgot to mention comments from vdr aka Vecko but it's all in the video

Thank you again for your inputs, that's all very useful
I will have to train these techniques by playing some single missions.

Cheers,
