A new player, wishing to learn manual targeting.

I have looked in the newbe guide thread, but most of the links are broken. the one called "the hunt" (if I remember correctly) is quite good for the hunting part, but is a bit weak on the torpedo set up, speed measurements, etc. (maybe I need another look) but is there a good video/illustrated guide to targeting torpedo's manually?

I have read a lot of different tutorials that will explain different methods for different situations.
I think the best for you IMHO is Wazzoo's manual charting and targeting manual.
I might have got it from this website or maybe somewhere else.
Someone on here might have a link for it but I can't seem to find it right now.
If you cant find it yourself PM me your e-mail address and I will email it to you.

lol what he said, when you sink a fast mover, and its huge, its such an awesome feeling. What I wanna know is it possible to do all the calculations yourself (by using the periscope and stuff) like they did in real life?
