auto targeting

PappyCain · 11-01-11, 07:30 PM

When running auto targeting does the notepad provide any information at all? Or does it stay blank? I ask as I do not remember as I have not played for a long time.

If you're going to do manual targeting, I highly recommend using the OLC gui; its sole purpose is to improve the speed and accuracy of which you can get a firing solution. My manual targeting is on the poor side to begin with, using OLC has been the only time I've managed to hit where I've aimed.

IIRC, on 'auto' it provides ship id, range, speed and AOB. Everything an up and coming kaleun needs to make a big splash!

My question regards the 'notepad' display when on auto - is it supposed to display any auto inputs on range, bearing etc. or remain blank? I cannot tell if I have a bug or not.

'IIRC' - just looked up what that means. So if the 'notepad' does not show any information - then I have a bug? or issue?

If you are using auto-targeting then, yeah, you should get ID/speed/distance/AOB info in the notepad automatically, for sure it should be there if you are able to lock onto a ship in the peri or UZO.

I don't know if having the option for Weapons Officer assistance checked makes any difference though, if you have that checked maybe you have to ask him to ID the ship first?

Yes, that is what I recalled. I have checked and unchecked the Weapons Officer in the realisim settings to no effect. I will ask him to ID the vessel and revert back.

Is there a folder / file I can reference? There could be a corruption?

I have tried different U-Boats and crews
I tried instant missions
I have checked and unchecked Weapons Officer in realisim settings
I have toggled manual and auto plotting

No data appears on the blank notepad when on auto settings - no range, no bearing, etc.
when using scope or UZO.

The only data on the notepad is an ID of the type of vessel the cross hairs are on.

And, I cannot hit squat now.

Thoughts anyone? File checks?
