Couple of noob questions about speed and GWX scripted campaigns

vedrand · 01-22-08, 04:32 AM

If you play with contact updates on the map, you can do the following:

Mark the position of the target on the map with X and start the stop watch immediately. Wait for 3 minutes and 15 seconds (3:15). Put a new X on the ships new position.

Measure the length of the line between the two. The distance in hundreds of meters is his speed in knots. So if you measure 0.7, that corresponds to 7 knots.

It's simple and works good.

Have fun

In GWX2 (I gather you use it from your sig) you have a nomograph in your mapscreen, on the right hand side. I use my own stopwatch on my wristwatch. Zoom maximum in on target and put a marker on it, start stopwatch, let it go for 1 minute, then put marker on new position. Measure the range between the marks. The longer time you use, the more accurate your reading, but I find it accurate enough in 1 minute.

Now use the ruler with the nomograph. Put beginning of rule on 1 minute and draw a line from there to the distance you measured between the 2 markers. Extending the line, you will find the corresponding speed in knots.

Also, find the most excellent OLC GUI mod in the SH3 Mods forum. It gives you much better manual targetting tools used in real life than what's stock in SH3. I couldn't do without it anymore. With this tool, it is fairly easy and accurate to measure speed, range and AOB from the attackperiscope.

Hello Pino,

the scripted campaigns cannot be accessed in isolation, they are encountered during campaigns.

You could start your career as near to a campaign start date as necesary if you are determined to get involved with them individually.

I have a downloadable file here http://hosted.filefront.com/Nerazzurri07 which provides approximate dates in chronological order for easier planning. you should however read the appropriate section of the GWX manual for more detailed info.
