Try Again i Need Manual Targeting Help

Defiance · 01-15-10, 06:55 PM

Hiya's,

New to the U-Boat, usually patrol the pacific lol

Got the missions mainly for it having patch/whatever you wanna call it

Well i need help with torpedo aiming, in my usual us class boat i usually suffer duds or near misses (thanks to ducimus :-P )

I am running op monsoon and its patches and visuals if it matters

Err back to my aiming ............

As i look to aim i generally ID the ship, then set angle to bow, now this has thrown me, the angle bow ship icon i assume its uppermost point is the bow of the ship i want to target ? so if i am in front of it at a 45 degree angle i would move the angle mark to roughly 2-30 o'clock (is this correct ??

Now the distance, i have a line across my scope, do i use this and level it with the sea or bottom of the ships hull i want to attack ?? and when i use the distance meter the faint line do i use this to top of front mast or the funnel/funnels ???

And obviously if i have the right distance checked a few times i can get the accurate speed reading

Just for the life of my i can't get any darn hits

If any kind soul could give me the heads-up on the bow angle and distance this would set me on my way to sinking some ships lol

Hope it makes sense

Many Thanks

Def

Check the documentation links. The first doc is more focused on how to use the interface bugs and configs, the second bigger one deals with attacks and a bit of theory. I recommend reading both even if they're basically the same thing. Good luck
