Targeting problems

rsvette12 · 08-08-09, 11:11 PM

Ok guys I'm stumped, when I do the torpedo attack in sub school I can put in the speed thats fine, angle of boat fine I go to the attack map and the course of the torpedo looks great but when I try to put in the range the minute I touch the stadimeter you go to the attack map the torpedos path hooks 90 degrees to the left or sometimes the right mostly the left so I try to manually adjust the range and by then its to late ship is past I have manual option on in settings, anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong tried for 2 hours same results over and over I am using tmo but dont think that affects sub school hmm, thanks.

Hi Rich

Silly question but it's nothing to do with yout tube choice is it? And are you moving at the time?

think this can happen if your moving and you select the wrong tubes well it has for me at least!

When you put the the position keeper on I take it you have id the target taken the first bearing and height measurement input that then waited a while to take the second bearing and measurement then worked out course input that then the AOB then taken a final height measurement then switched on position keeper?

Theres a couple of good instructional videos on the bag of tricks thread that help. Made a toatal hash of manual targetting the first times I used it - don't worry you wil get it

Hope this helps, still early morning here so not totally awake!

Hi Steve, just doing the sub school torpedo targeting was not moving and picking torpedo how can you pick them wrong i just pick one at a time and open the tubes then I set the speed and depth so nothing to special there just seems if I turn on the pk or touch the stadimeter the course shown for the torpedo in the attack map shows its going to shoot out then turn left sometimes right 90 degrees, only if I touch the above mentioned otherwise it shows nice and straight, thanks and good morning, its off to bed for me been trying to get this working for hours maybe something is wrong with the pk and stadimeter not sure.

Regards, Rich
