[TEC] Auto TDC Video Lesson Up

malkuth74 · 03-04-10, 01:01 AM

Just finished my video on how to use the AUTO TDC. Its a basic lesson and will get you started. teaches you how to get a good 90 Degree angle of attack, and how to Connect the dots LOL.
Thanks for watching and hope this helps many.. Good Luck.

UPDATE: New version of the video is now up. It has come to light that I might of been wrong about the Numbers in the circle represent the speed settings on torpedos. The old method works, but in the new video I just took out that reference. Connecting the dots is the name of the game.. And that always works, no matter what you call it. Good Luck.

I have posted Another Video On Advanced Use Of The Auto TDC and Rear Torpedos and Deck gun use.

Yeah I know auto TDC and Advanced techniques come on!! Well the system is a little more complicated then before, and you can actually use these Advanced Techniques to help broaden your possibility to go outside the Match the circle game.. Thats correct, the circles are nothing more then a cheat to help you. But what happens when you can't line up the circles? Well I teach you how to do that in this video. And how to set up for you can fire your Rear Torpedo, and also a front torpedo in the same attack..

I also teach how to use the deck gun in this video. So lets get started.

cool,

thanks a bunch!

Connect the dots is a pretty cool method for the more casual player - it's a real shame it wasn't well-documented in the game. Cheers on correcting that problem for us!

Nice, thanks a lot!

I'm wondering how well the old Dick O'Kane method will work with the manual TDC?

ThePinkSubmarine · 03-04-10, 01:56 AM

Awesome! Now how do you do it the manual way?

I will say YES !! But I cannot find a chart that was here with shot angles. Scope bearing relative to 90 AOB

Thanks so much. This isn't too far off from what I have been doing in Silent Hunter 3. I liked to setup these intersections for the enemy vessels to cross so I can tag them when they begin to pass the line of scrimmage. In other words, the 0 mark on my periscope.

Just alittle niggle, but those numbers dont represent the 3 speeds of your torpdoes.

They're simply showing where your torpdoes will be at 3 different times in the future. Naturally if you set them to fast, the #3 will be further out because it will go futher in that time. Slow and it will be closer in. It's the same thing for the enemy ship's dots. If it's doing 15 knots, His numbers will be spaced further apart and reach out further, and if he's doing 4 knots.. they will be closer in.

Doesn't matter what speed you have set, as long as you match ANY of the numbers you'll hit. You could even use halfway between dots if you wanted.. doesn't matter.

You're the crew!

Once you go below decks your sub will submerge.

Is that the most arcade automatic method of targeting? That's darn confusing. Can the arcade-auto method shoot anything other than a 000 gyro shot?

I'm glad I use manual targeting because there's no way I could figure out that Lotto ball Teletuby stuff.

You have to leave the bridge, and then give the order to dive. I know, it feels like you are abandoning your men, we need a clear the bridge order.
