This depends on what period of the computer you are trying to go for. When this model, S3, was first introduced in mid 1941, that dial represented the lead angle, or “Vorhaltwinkel”. The computer also lacked the red impact angle lamp on the left side of the computer at this point. Some point in early 1943, the impact angle light was introduced, and that dial was re-purposed even later to show impact angle (“Auftreffwinkel”), I think after LuT was introduced.

When it was lead angle, it went to about 75° on either side. When it was impact angle it looked more like it does above, 180° to each side.

My recommendation would be to keep it as lead angle, since that was the representation of the dial through the majority of the war. Although I do acknowledge that impact angle is more useful.

Angle on bow though it never was, that is the second dial from the left on the bottom.

I tried to keep it as historically correct as possible but SH3 simply does not have all the original instruments. Also, the original TDC did not have torpedo settings.


The following dials are in their correct positions: target speed, target range, angle on bow, spread angle, gyroangle, and target bearing. I used the rest of the positions to place the other dials and switches on SH3s' TDC.


The dial in the upper left corner is a special case. As derstosstrupp explained, the dial that looked like that was the torpedo impact angle. That dial does not exist in SH3 and it is there for decoration. However, it is used for the 2nd gyroangle setting for Fat/Lut torpedoes and I use it for that. So, when you select a Fat/Lut torpedo it becomes active and gets a label.


Regards

I noticed that immediately how you used the dials having no relevance in SH3 for others that do - very clever!

Hi ! I've got question.
About this mod's TDC on periscope view.

I cannot change torpedo depths to 2m or 3m.
Depth dial doesn't work on less than 4m.
Doesn't response to my PC mouse.

In attack map TDC, I can change depth free.

How to fix?

Hello,
I checked this and you are right, it appears to be a bug. I will fix it with next version along with other things I found. It will take a couple of weeks because I need to finish something first.
Thank you for the report!
Regards,
Diego
