[TEC] Manual TDC Tutorial For SH5 with No Map contacts

[Ablemaster]

Excellent stuff, very helpful, thanks.

[Crécy]

I would like to see manual targeting guide with 100% realism. I just don't remember how to take speed of the enemy's ship and the AOB..

Great idea, things are moving so quickly in the SH5 forums at the moment it's easy to miss most important stuff like this. Well done to those guys making the tutorials and providing the kind of key knowledge for newbs to the game that Ubi has for some reason decided not to supply in its manual to the "more accessible SH5".

excuse me but what are all these 'tutorials' ??

when we speak for MANUAL targeting the ''map contacts update'' must be OFF !
other than that is NOT manual targeting and you don't need any 'tutorial' for start shooting ! if map contacts are ON you get the distance ,speed ,aob anytime you want from map ....its only an arcade gameplay

Absolutelly correct.. But you will find lots of newbies who says: "it's manual targeting, we don't use colored triangles anymore" LOL

Thank You, Very helpful.

Now I realised by moving the scope, altering speed of the torps..it all makes sense

Thanks mate! You just made me feel bad. After playing SH 3 and 4 with auto targeting I'm now learning "manual" targeting with these great tutorials because i have to! The auto TDC is so f'ked up for long shots. I started thinking that this is nice and gives much more immercity to the game.
WTF you don't even play the game. Make your own ELITE TUTORIAL for SH5 so i can look into it otherwise your post is just bragging that "I'm a pro u r noobs loool!!1!"

Don't feel bad Peni, manual targeting is just fine with map contacts on. Everyone can play this game anyway they'd like.

We're slowing getting to the point where all the tools are available to make true 100% targeting possible, but right now it's still too restrictive to me. Besides, seeing how close I am to being seen is just as exciting as having no idea what so ever.

Play how you want and enjoy yourself, don't let other's play styles get you down.

Torpedo Data Computer. If you're using a UIs mod you'll have TDC dials that you can set the data into.

Not sure if this is the right place for this but it seems close enuf.

Could anyone post a tutorial on how to intercept a target? Like in the radio contact report where they tell you where the target is, what direction it is headed and at what speed. I used to know a method for doing that but can't quite seem to remember all of it; it involved cercles and angle lines and was real quick and accurate.
