Realistic manual tdc and torpedo solutions

AOB is quite easy to visualize and estimate just by looking.
With some practice, it should become like riding a bicycle !
RAOBF and stuff is existing in most mega mods (SH3/4/5), but for info, RAOBF wheel was not used in WW2 by Germans...only in WW1 of what I’ve readed.
Attack disc were probably used instead.
US side, i don’t know...but i don’t think they used RAOBF wheels either.
Correct me if I’m wrong

I am using FORS mod for sh4. But I don’t see those things in there. FORS doesn’t have them?

If you don’t see it in FOTRSU, that’s certainly cause US subs didn’t use it

IIRC most U-Boat commanders used the so-called Ausdampfverfahren or the Auswanderungsverfahren from the 1930 Torpedo shooting manual of the Kriegsmarine.

No, it just really easy to eyeball your target angle/angle on bow:
