Default what do i think of SH4

what I think of SH4.
One day it will be a good simulator.
In maybe sex months or a year, as it is they made it for
Games players not simulator players,
And it’s full of bugs
Every night I download the new mod’s and adds them to the game,
And slowly it’s turning in to a true simulator
But I still cannot sink a ship using the TDC manually my clock don’t
Work so I can not find out how fast the ship is moving so the ship goes
One way and my torp.s go the other every time they must have thought
Gamers will use the TDC on auto it does not matter if it doesn’t work
Just another bug in a buggy game

For the most part the TDC works fine. If you are using the fast speed setting on the torpedos then they will probably miss behind the target becase they don't actually run at fast speed. But if your torpedos are going in the wrong direction they you are putting incorrect data into the TDC. There is a problem with attacks from the port side after the the ship reaches a 90 degree AOB, but that is not the problem you are describing.

There are a number of threads here that will help you get better at it, plus a video Neal did showing you, step by step, what you will need to do.

As far as the stopwatch function goes, in reality there was no magic stopwatch on real Subs.. Captains had to use their experience and advanced mathmatic to figure out the speed of a target. In this SH4 is a true simulator.
