Last night I finally made it to the East coast of Britain for the second time.
It's really annoying to have to crawl past friendlies at 64X time compression max, even in travel mode.
Anyway, I got there, and in the dark closed in on what appeared to be a tanker lead by a destroyer.
My SH5 "eye" is obviously off from years of SH3.
I closed in, set the TDC, guessed a speed of 7 knots, and fired from what I figured was 1000 meters or closer. I can't be sure. I fired three fish, one at the bow, one center, one stern, and all three missed.
With the Wolves of Steel mod, if I'm in bunker and go into realism settings and turn on map contacts will I see map contacts that I see in the periscope, or does the mod override that?
I'm thinking of going back to map contacts until my eye gets trained at SH5 range and speed estimation.
Also, what is that formula for computing speed based on time crossing the reticule and the length of the ship?
