The SH4 manual says there is a way to change the name of the marks you place on the map, and also you can add comments. I haven't found a way to do this so far, and the manual doesn't describe it in detail. Is there a way to do it?

[taletoul]

@krarpi I'm afraid the manual is wrong, there's no way to name marks or write comments in the navigation map

hi men great vid, what do u mean with nm? nautic miles? and how do u estimate that numbers please reply :P

[taletoul]

@ages987 NM means Nautical Mile. About the estimaion is explained in an old comment further down, take a look

the idea is cool, but it sounds a bit far-fetched. Why do you insist on using the radar to stay at long range while you can also simply approach the ship at periscope depth and slow speed? when near the ship you can start using the TDC by identifying, measuring hight etc. and then fire a precise shot

[taletoul]

@marty10009 the video shows how to get in a good position to do what you say (attack phase). It's unlikely that you can overtake a convoy undetected at periscope depth and get a good solution for the attack.

For one time of life mathematics are awesome!

Math is always awesome when torpedoes and guns are involved!

A guy I know used to sail on a submarine. The skills needed to get on one of those things are pretty damn high. He was required to do stuff like calculating an attack position in mere seconds. Ofc he had computers and calculators, but they're still able to do it just like they did back in the days. Theyre better at it, even.

The best one tutorial!! New "dimension" in SH game(s)!

Thnx for video, mate!

Can anyone help me? I'm currently wondering whether or not SH4 has a tutorial that actually EXPLAINS shit, instead of a tutorial that just tells me to do things without explaining how. Can anyone help me out? or find me a modding community that has made something like that for the game?

@jaybeebee14 They were clever lol, not like now days military, machines almost do everything

@SuperHaloStarwarsFan maybey your ship dose not have a radar ?
