Something might, or might not have happened at AN55.

A quick little video showing how I do my quick manual setup of the TDC using no map calculations, or lock on. Hope you enjoy

You guessed the AOB from the target view?

Hello Deepseadiver , yes I guessed the AOB to the best of my abilities. Unless you are WAY off on your AOB, it usually is forgiving on close to medium range. At long range, say at about 6km out, you need a more accurate estimate of the AOB.

AOB is what i struggle with. So i assume you just imagined yourself on the bridge of the target ship and guessed it from that position rather than from your subs position?

That is correct. I imagine myself standing on the bridge of the enemy ship, looking directly at my submarine

Exactly

Speed is more important factor than AOB.
You can wait last second to enter 90 AOB when ship is full 90° in your scope.
Little AOB error, you’ll hit anyway.
Little speed error, you’ll miss for sure...

I have worked out a few things..speed of target, ID of target range, my patrol zone etc..but AOB eludes me. Also worked out how to get more KM's out of my boat. My other problem is locating targets.


I do hydrophone searches and even use the scripts but nothing!!

Add the mod last unless using the TWoS Real Navigation Mod which should then be placed last.

your math is way more complicated than it needs to be.

Kts = (190.6m / 43s) * 1.94


or you could simply use the RAOFB and put away your digital calculator
