Usually 10 degrees to the right or left of your heading (depending on which direction its coming from). You set the TDC up much like stoianm shows here.

THere are many tutorials on this in the SH4 forums if anyone is interested. VEry effective for long range shots (with a visual on target) and very effective for sonar attacks but you should be closer to compensate for sonar inaccuracies.

if you play at 100% realism you can find an precise spead or cource only with for bearing methode (i think)... this methode ''Dick O'Kane'' can be used at 100% realism? If yes can you post an link pls?

You are correct. You are still limited with finding an accurate range but if you can find speed and course with 4bearings or by visual contact you can then submerge and use only sonar to carry out the attack using a constant bearing technique.

Here are some links. They are for SH4 but the principles are the same and work for SH5. Just make sure you don't have the periscope linked to the TDC or it will throw off your TDC data inputs.

Dick O'Kane Sonar only video download (the difference here is that he uses pinging to find range I believe. So again we are limited by the uboat's available technology)

DIck O'Kane written tutorial

The bottom-line is that if you can get speed and course by some other method while submerged (like 4 bearing method) you don't need an accurate range to carry out a Dick O'Kane attack. The 90 degree setup of your sub to the targets course cancels out the need for an accurate range.

Nice job !!! Grat video !!!!

Thanks
It's what I need to understand some functions of TDW mod

Thanks... soon will be an tutorial with manual TDC with Real navigation and realism 100% (no map contact)

Stoianm The Dick O'kane method is the "Fast 90" which I'm fairly sure your familar with.

And you don't need the four bearing. Just Speed and course. AOB sorts itself obviously if you know the course. You line up for a 90 degree shot, fire on your zero bearing and direct hit.

Yes my friend... tnx... the 4 bearing is the only methode that i know to calculate speed, course, aob etc from an ship using the hydro (without using the sonar ping)
