Manual Torpedo calculator, how do it ?

[Chisum]

Hi mates, long time no see !
I'm back in submarine but this time I would like to play a little bit more seriously. I did never play in manual mod and I want to try it. Everytime I've try, I missed the target...
Could you tell me where I can found a SIMPLE tutorial to be an expert ?

Thanks in advance !
Regards.

Might be easier to steer you in the right direction if it was known what part are you having problems with ?

Hi, thanks to answer.

To be simple: the selection of data. How to adjust the 4 parameters on the settings table? Based on what indications? The first left is the biggest problem ...

Is this post based on the view from the TDC screen ? I.e., by "The first left..." do you mean the target bearing setting dial ?

Exactly, named "Azimut" as you can see there.



But a little explain about the 3 others will be welcome too !

Thanks to answering.

Ok, left to right:

1. That is the direction in degrees the target is moving. I.e, if it was moving NE, it's bearing would be 45 degrees and that is where the white arrow would be pointing at.
The red and green halves symbolize port (red) or starboard (green) directions in this and the angle on bow dial.

2. That is the distance the target is from your sub.

3. That is the angle on bow of the target. Think of this as the bearing (direction) of your sub from the target's bow.

4. That is the speed of the target (outer dial).

Hope this helps.
