45-36 AV torpedo ... how to aim and hit Target ? - dragunov - 21.05.2012

Hi guys !

After long and unsuccessful attempts to hit the enemy ship with 45-36 AV Torpedo , please I need some advice .... how to aim and hit the ship?

What speed and height are the best and In which direction should I throw out a torpedo, directly or from the side?
Thanks for the help !

Hi, dragunov




Generally, the lower you fly, then the more accurate the aim can be. One should not fly too fast, too.

Pilot must lead the ship - aim ahead of the ship's prow - by at least 10 percent of the distance from the vessel. For example in aiming at an ordinary, slow ship: A distance of 1,500 meters from it, then you should generally aim about 150 meters in front of the bow ( about 150 yards or 450 feet ). The longer the ship, then the more forgiving the aim. The shorter the ship in length, then the closer you need to be in order to have a good probability of hitting it.

Most important is to adjust for speed of the ship and distance from the target. The faster the ship and the longer the distance to target, then the more lead aim is needed ahead of the vessel.

There are tutorials for this in different sim forums and also there are historical combat tables to guide you, too. Search online.

I hope that this helps.
