How do you Point and Shoot?

[SteamWake]

I belive the OP is asking about a "snap shot" wherein you use best guess estimates.

Just set the range to some reasonable number, spread angle to zero, speed to high, open the torpedo door have the periscope at zero and take your best guess at lead and fire the torp and hope for the best.

Be advised though you had better be a little ways out otherwise the torp wont arm and will just doink off the target.

Personally I prefer to let the TDC do its thing its a lot more accurate than I am.

Yeah, this works if you want to aim with your "sub nose". If he wants to aim with the scope, though, my advise is accurate. I hope it works as described in the manual, then it really wont be a problem. If it doesn't, he just needs to set the speed to zero. And he should only have to take target bearing, which is not possible to send seperately w/o a range transmission, so he needs to hit the "send" button when on the "range page" of the upper right hand dial. Any range in fact, cause it doesn't matter at all for a snapshot with target speed zero.
