The ULTIMATE TDC Tutorial | Type IIA UBOAT | (unstable) Beta 2024.1 (Preview 12) 

Good note! Yeah… once the game gets more stable… I could do TDC videos on those.

I know! I bought it like last year and never played then saw someone playing a week ago, and I redownloaded it and already clocked insane hours 😂 It was fun learning the game and tactics, was overwhelming at first but now it’s just so chill and relaxing and immersive!

Yep no worries. One day I’ll get around to the Type VII subs TDC.

No problem. I’m glad you liked it. I wanted to be as thorough as possible. Learning the history, how it works, and then showing it off is the best way to learn about something. I will have more tutorials on this game in the future. I’m working on a few ideas now with A.I. testing out my theories. Haha

@@pythosdegothos6181 That’s a great compliment! I’ll try to make all my tutorial videos informative.

@@kNOCommentGaming Im a flight instructor, and your cadence, cador, and skill are that of such. Your explanations are just clear and concise.

@@pythosdegothos6181 Glad you feel that way. When I was editing it i felt cringe hearing me explain it certain ways. 😂

@@kingsgambit7734 I’ll try to make a better one for the type 7 which is kinda the same tactics… one day.. just iffy cause it’s beta, and video might be dated if they change something. No worries tho, this game has a learning curve, but keep going! You will get it!

Still a fantastic tutorial!!! Great Job.

@@Deathraven693 Thank you

@@overlordzorn yeah might update it with the Type 7 TDC. Who knows also, they might change something since it’s a Beta currently.

Yes you can enter in AOB measurements from the perspective of the Uboat. (You do this in either first person or Skipper Experimental view) The game does have a great PDF of how a targeted ship looks like from all angles and how to tell by looking at it what AOB it is. (You can see this pdf by entering the USO or UZO view as I did in the game, and looking in the top left corner of the screen for an “i” icon. Click on that opens the pdf) I did not do this for simplicity. My goal was to help with the understanding of what APB was, this is why I explained it the way I did externally. (in hind sight I should have showed both) the game lets you enter in an AOB value that is approximately close enough manually. (In first person or skipper view you turn the dial to approximately the value you want, in third person as I did you can enter it in exactly by typing the value and not turning the dial) Lastly it autocorrected the (incorrect) values I entered due to the scope being locked onto the target. (Note: The game auto updates the AOB for the angle the target is, and not your angle to the ship, this is encoded in the code of the game, and the TDC) Obviously in real life they have to keep following it, since this is a video game you can locked the scope to a target as I stated “lock the target” in the video. So, you can wait for the perfect 90-130 degree AOB without worry about manually fill the target and fire the torp(s). But…. You can unlock the target and follow manually if you wish. This is more challenging, but the game allows this for realism. (Once again I locked on target for simplicity of the video.) When I make a new TDC tutorial for the Type VII Uboats TDC (which is different) I’ll do it by showing the pdf and finding the AOB that way. Without using the external view or map view. (This TDC also auto follows once “locked” on. It is a video game at the end of the day. Haha) Hope this answered your question questions. Also thanks for watching and getting that far in the video! Update: As of today June 23, 2024 2024.1 Preview 16 just updated to be more precise with dial selections. You can now use the mouse wheel to be more precise! AWESOME!

Thanks

No, you’re not an idiot. You can do it all manual without the map, but you will need the periscope. TDC allows for auto tracking once you lock in with the scope though, and setting up salvo solutions. This is all possible in first person without the map, just more difficult. There is a difficulty setting up”Hardcore Aiming” it forces you to use only the scopes to aim and fire. I think it’s just for added immersion. Adds to being more hardcore and realistic. Technically the auto lock and aiming isn’t real, but it a video game at the end of the day. Haha

Footage seen here is from the unstable beta branch, the update and features seen here arent pushed on stable yet.

@@overlordzorn correct! 👍🏽

@@hege750 I imagine it as the Germany crew speaking only English so when they do messages it tricks the English since they are only speaking English. 😂

@@rikmuao4699 works both ways in this game. 🤷🏽 It’s a game. But… yes for if you are doing hardcore aiming. Also, I did it at a 0 or 90 degrees from them to me angle, cause that was my firing point. 90-130 degrees, so yea I did do it correctly. (3/3 hits) (well maybe the TDC auto updating also helps lol) AOB was auto updating also as we were moving forward. So technically I didn’t need to redo it often. TDC follows the ship once locked.

@@elvarsmar2280 that In itself is “using the TDC”. Also, explaining what the TDC is, and how it is used.. is in itself “a TDC Tutorial”.
