Manual TDC Help

SixthFall · 12-24-13, 04:49 AM

hey all, was wondering if someone can help here. I have TDW's New UI mod installed, with all the awesome TDC gauges and dials. Now i know how to do a 90 degree torp attack with manual tdc (such as the one in the trevally tutorials) but I cant seem to figure something like this out:

So, its not a nice clean 90 degree attack. I dont really know what to do here, the AOB would be 40 degrees starboard (i know its actually 45 in the photo, but pretend its 40 for the example, ok), and i could find the speed of the contact and enter that as well, but what do i do for range? is it range the distance along line of sight, or psuedo torpedo track, assuming AOB is NOT 45 degrees.

How would I go about setting the tdc up for this so my attack is successful?
And where would I have to set the periscope at in order to enter the info to the TDC? Would it be at 000 gyro angle like in a 90 degree attack?

Thanks!
