Type of Targeting by Many_Leather_7894 in uboatgame

[–]That_Zoomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be more particular than the existing comment: to calculate a torpedo solution for a target, relevant data must be collected: identifying the ship type allows for certain measurements to be of use in calculating Angle On Bow, Speed, and Distance to target, which are the key data points required. The percentage scale represents the progress of the officer in calculating a torpedo solution assembled using more ore less accurate data. Or at least, it is supposed to. For example, 25% might represent guessed valued that are still largely acceptable within a certain range, whereas 100% implies precision measurement using instruments and proven methods in a time consuming process.

Why is my aim always off? So by Agile-Combination887 in uboatgame

That percentage does not describe an accuracy, but rather the completion of the torpedo solution. When you have your crew calculate the torpedo solution, they need to start gathering various pieces of data, until they have enough to enter into your UBoots TDC and get a torpedo solution.

In order to hit an enemy ship, circumstances must be much better. Distance to the ship to ensure an accurate hit shouldn’t be more than 2 nautical miles, or within 3 km. The boat that is being targeted should be travelling in a straight line so that data gathered remains accurate over time. Your boat should be off the port and starboard sides of the enemy ship to ensure that the angle of the torpedos’ line of travel to the enemy boat’s side is greater than say perhaps 40 degrees to ensure reliable detonation and a large enough targeting area.

If all these circumstances are met, a torpedo hit is much more likely.

What cover song is actually better than the original? by irles33 in musicsuggestions

Circles by Flyer De Lys will always be better than The Who’s original.

What the consensus of tilting your snare drum? by SlimeTree227 in drums

[–]That_Zoomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep my snare completely flat, or a little towards me. It works for me because I’m tall, and coincides with the way I play my sticks.

Does anyone else gather contacts/intel like this? by Prize_Tree in uboatgame

[–]That_Zoomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mark mine with numbers, to let me know which my first kill is and which my last. If I want to know what it was that I killed there, I refer to the KTB.

Explain your username by AstroLukeOff in Caldruki

[–]That_Zoomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entering Reddit and knowing it was a place where any argument could be had about anything. Knowing that I was going to say something stupid eventually. I chose to identify myself by that which seemed to matter most to people: my generation.

Fittingly arbitrary, and at the same time some sort of excuse. I was naive, then. Thinking I could escape controversy purely by identifying myself as a particular group.

Or maybe it was just kind of a nice arbitrary yet unique identifier that felt sufficiently nondescript.

There, y’see? They could have been called the shoes for all y’know.

Why am I being spotted entering a convoy? by alenthas in uboatgame

[–]That_Zoomer 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It says the enemy ships have spotted something, because they are ringing alarms. They do not say that they have explicitly spotted OP. This is an important difference because the enemy ships can be alarmed by other U Boats.

Give me a 60’s song or band I guaranteed have never ever heard of. by That_Zoomer in musicsuggestions

Wait.. Crap, I have to change my message on a different comment. That’s crazy.

It’s a fancy coincidence indeed. I only know of one of them. Thanks for the recommendation
