I tested the asin calculation for 124 length 22 beam and got at least 10 degree error at every angle below 80 (calc range 0-90, step 5)Įdit: My calculations are also off as the shape isn't a square and for most angles only half the beam length is 'visible'.The online arrow speed calculator is specifically programmed to calculate bow/arrow speed. That's a pretty thin slice to be shooting at.īesides - there's nothing in the recognition manual (in wolfpack) anyways that lists the width of the ships, so I don't know where you would get that data anyways to plug it into your calculations It's true it doesn't take into account the width of the ship, but that only really affects you when you're shooting at close to 0 or 180, in which you honestly should reposition yourself to a better firing solution. If you like I could make you a calculation disc for the asin part so you don't have to look up in tables. Originally posted by Igoooor:Well, the asin formula has the flaw that it neglects the width of the ship - if you are in the low degree areas you will get a high error due to this.

if you really want to calculate it, this formula is what you need, and you can get all the ingredients right from the periscope too. Or maybe you're looking for a little less simulator, and a littler more Kaboom (cause lets be honest. guessing is fun, but sometimes at night it's not as easy to guess when you can barely see. at least you know how far you were off, and try try again. You can also use the TDC Tutorial to hone your skills by looking at a ship, making your guess, and then looking at the map to see what it actually is - If you're wrong. With a bit of practice it just becomes second nature. You as the submarine captain, for the most part, will pretty much just guess this most of the time. Time to drop her into the ocean and run for a life boat buddy, cause she won't share that rubble with you. then that submarine is putting 60 degrees left into his TDC. that's the front), and you look 60 degrees to you left and see a periscope sticking out of the water. If you're Jack on the Titanic, and you're holding Rose over the bow ( pssst. So, I've seen people try to describe this is SO many ways, but I'm gonna make it REAL simple for ya. but how do you actually calculate it?'īoth of these I will do my best to answer here (yes, including a formula you can drop into Google Sheets)

Most common question I ever get playing sub games is 'How do I get the Angle on Bow?' always followed by 'ok.
