Some useful stuff there Canovaro. Many thanks for sharing

[gordonmull]

Lots of interesting stuff there, thanks!

I was looking at the u-boat commanders handbook in there and came to this

"The following rule of thumb serves to determine, in good time, the distance of the submarine
When about launch the attack, (torpedo) abreast of the enemy.
In position 5°, the lateral distance from the enemy = 1/10, in position 10° = 1/5, in position
15° = 1/4, in position 20° = 1/3, in position 30° = 1/2 of the momentary distance."

Does anyone have any idea what this means??

[Canovaro]

Thank you all for your very kind comments. Glad to have been of some help.

WolfOfCampscapel:
I keep you to that promise

Hanomag:
I'm sure you'll like some other stuff as well

Brag:
You can take the stuff you like out of the collections zip on your site, but some files have a 'how to use' file with them, so it may be good to put them together for download.
If you really like all the stuff, you can just put the whole zip on your site, but that's up to you
Please beware that only half of the stuff is originally mine. Other stuff should be credited for the original creator, like i did in the index file.

I don't understand what that means either
Maybe: when you are in a 90 degrees angle, and you see the target at 10 or 350 degrees, then the distance between the 'crosspoint' and you compared to the distance between the 'crosspoint' and the target is 1/5
That should mean that if he is at 45 degrees the distance sould be 1/1 (both equally far away from the 'crosspoint')

Some really useful gear there matey

I think you are almost right. The angles mentioned appear to be AOB. Then, if you take the sine of them the ratios come out close (well, with a large margin of error for the smaller angles) to represent the ratio between your distance to the 'crosspoint' and distance of the target to you. Your 1/1 ratio at 45 degrees would not be correct. 7/10 would be better.

Great work, Canovaro!

This is a most excellent compilation!

[bert8for3]

That's terrific, thanks

Kaluen Canovaro!

I have found The Spinnennetz Project and your Contact Bearing Compass to be tremendously useful resources. I cannot wait to download and review this latest package of goodies. Thank You again for your endeavors!

Canovaro,

Very impressive! You are a true professional. Do you mind if I place the download links on the Kielman webbie?
