How should I go about learning manual targetting?

[Subnerd]

Hello all!

I am fairly new to SH3 and have been using my weapons officer mostly to aim and fire torpedoes. However I really would like to learn how to do all this myself but really don't know where to start.

I have looked at an online tutorial but it requires all sorts of drawing mods such as protractors with 180 at the top instead of the bottom which I am unable to find.

Is there a simple tutorial not requiring any special mods or downloads which explains how to do this in SH3?

Thanks.

Here is a version I tweaked a bit to make it more usefull. Really, the inverted compass it too good not to use.

You need JSGME to install it. But that goes for pretty much every other mod too.

Pretty simple. Start the JSGME program once after installation so it makes a MODS folder in Sh3-base folder if there isn't one allready. Close JSGME. Extract the files with folderstructure from my mod into the MODS-folder. (the readme.txt and JPG screenshot isn't neccessary for it to function, just to know what it is about) Start the JSGME again to enable the navmaptools_4_all_lines-mod. And now play SH3 with those mousetool-enhancements.

I know of no tutorials that uses just stock Sh3 functions. Just found this one on youtube:

It isn't all that difficult really to do the targeting yourself and it is a lot more rewarding. The only tricky part is when you have to work out firing solutions on the fly then it can get iffy yes but with the 90° method it is pretty straightforward.

Unless you got a brain like mine

I'll sure give it a go anyhow! Wish me luck!

Thanks again Pisces! I don't know why none of these came up in any of my Google searches!

Some great info there to keep me busy for a long time.

Thanks a bunch for that Pisces! I really had given up on getting something to be able to use with the Tutorial. I downloaded the tools and they work just fine.

So tonight I will start the tutorial.

Thanks again!
