In reality it does not matter if you are in north sea, or in central pacific. Everything what does matter is your relative position to moving target. Forget where you are and just draw your plot anywhere in map - it will work always the same - you can even turn your orientation upside down and still have the same result if you turn over even position of target. The only one thing about finding your exact position is about to know how far away from border you are and if you need to be at you patrol circle or you want to get to the port. Thats all |

Thanks! good to know!!!
I am in still in 39 therefore against single, unescorted ships, I can go without plotting. but as soon as I start to get escort protected convoys I will need to get into better, ambush like, positions that only map plotting provides... so that the prey comes to me |

Just like me, we'll see each other at willhelmshaven pub
Btw RAOBF is best way for real kaleun experience, this is the way how the masters targeted their prey... And it's even the best in twos, it's just about the time... The best thing about it is that it is centralized about target specs. If you target one type of ship repeatedly, you'll become an ace very quickly (one week of playing). Because you remember it's mast and length, you don't need manual anymore. You just measure those scales and translate to distance and aob in no time. But you need manual again for each new ship type again |

My favorite methods so far:
- Bearing: Periscope or UZO - Range: RAOBF wheel - AoB: RAOBF to calculate aspect ratio observed vs. reference - Speed: U-Jagd chrono I also replied to your older post, my main issue is how to get in a good position with very little information of the enemy ship/ convoy speed and heading. |

And why do you need to tell us? We know sh4, we just play twos because we don't care about harbour raids. I wouldn't try it just because it's nonsense to try to attack London harbour with ubote.. I wouldn't play anything else just because of real navigation.. |

Hi Guys
You cannot compare SH3-4-5 on a like for like basis as they were all designed to be different. All these games are useless unless modded in some way. SH5 was not designed to do harbor raids and although this can be done we all know what happens is totally unrealistic. Doing harbor raids where there are no mines or nets in the game is totally unrealistic. SH4 was designed in their patrol objectives to go into harbors and carry out reconnaissance missions. Unfortunately the stock SH4 game for example will not let you take photographs in harbors although your patrol objective orders are to do so. Peter

Enjoy the game as is. And TWoS is very enjoyable. About the environment, TWoS has the best, and is tweaked specially by Vecko for TWoS. Only I have the bug of the weather reports (not accurate). Best regards. Fitzcarraldo |

Bold lines and magnetic detonator
Hello everyone!
1. My vision isn't as good as I wish to. Is it a way to make all map marks more bright or bold? I've tried to look for this in OptionsFileEditorViewer but didn't find a proper options. What can you advice? 2. Playing SH IV with some modpack (don't remember now) I was using the next way of torpedo attack: I've switched to Magnetic detonator and guided the torpedo to pass a 1-1,5 m below the keel of target. And hydrodynamic blow worked much better then direct hit, often even ripping the ship apart. I tried to do the same thing with SH5 + TWoS 2.0.5 but it seems to me that this trick doesn't work (I tried this in historical missions with 1 target and calm water), but torpedo doesn't explode even in 10 cm. below the keel. Can anyone tell me how to use "M" detonators properly here? UPD: I found some mod with is called "FX_Update_0_0_22_Stock_Torpedoes - MagDet range 3m (modified for torpedoes failure patches)" in "FX_Update_0_0_22_ByTheDarkWraith" patch, but I'm not sure if it is good for use with TWoS Thank you for your time. Best regards, Maestro Last edited by aMaestro; 07-25-17 at 11:10 AM. Reason: UPD added |

Also is there a way to increase the font sizes?
I am also having trouble seeing the map markers and text I guess I can do it by reducing resolution (mine 3840x2160 19:6 aspect ratio) is but I find some issues with the charts when I reduce it, and of course I like the better graphic capabilities that high resolution provides Another question: is there a way to automatically add a radio report contact into the map? I know it is possible to simply plot the coordinates, but I just cannot see the maps latitude and longitudes, font is really small Last mini question: Is there a way to name my boat? somehow I see it as U-** from radio reports |
