Working with WernerSobe's sonar only attack technique led me to develop the only other workable sonar only method to date, the Dick O'Kane Sonar Only Technique.
With this technique you use two or three pings to set the course and speed of the target. Then you can go passive only for the rest of the attack, as the only things that matter are that you are at right angles to the target track and when the target crosses your shoot bearing.
This is really not difficult to do and is maybe the most fun you can have in Silent Hunter as you obliterate a target you've never laid eyes on.
Music was Pink Floyd from the album Meddle (1971), the last pre-Alan Parsons produced album and the one right before Dark Side of the Moon. Nobody knows it exists, but you should. Unfortunately you won't know about it because a copyright claim took down the original video. You never will hear the album because they don't like me advertising their product. They owe me money. Do not buy any Pink Floyd until they pay me. Idiots! They lose.

Thank you. I apologize for the poor video quality of the time, but i thought it would be fun to demonstrate an attack technique that was never successfully done during the actual war. Interestingly, pre-war, this sonar only firing technique was considered the one that would be most effective.

BTW Dick O'Kane's story would make for an awesome sub movie.

I enjoyed this video, and your wit and imagination. I hope you have a a PC that is more than capable of recording and playing games at a faster frame rate than this now :)

+David Simkovitch You can see my Dick O'Kane Manual Targeting Technique video at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNFlrK16m8CZcYk.html. Also you can visit the Sub Skipper's Bag of Tricks thread at www.subsim.com/showthread.php?t=221540. It has written instructions, a postcard sized crib card and lots of discussion about the Dick O'Kane technique.

Thanks, much to my embarrassment your reply revealed to me who and what a great man Dick O'Kane was and still is. Shame corner( I thought it was some gamers or Sub. Sim. fans contribution).

+David Simkovitch Read O'Kane's Clear the Bridge, then read Fluckey's Thunder Below. That is only the beginning of appreciating what these great men accomplished in World War II that made possible our prosperity today. And even more astoundingly, politicians actually achieved greatness in building Germany and Japan into the great allies (not puppets!) they are today. We fought the only war in the history of mankind where the defeated gained as much as the victors. That is the single most important lesson of modern times.

Thanks, definitely will do the reading, especially important nowadays when greatness is scarce if present at all. Rockin Robbins @ Subsim?

Do it Dangerous Waters style without active sonar.

Actually there is a way to do that with a WWII submarine, not too accurately. I don't do it and don't teach it because it's not historically plausible.

Well, the TMA screen is still not accurate. It just gives you a range of solutions that all could fit the data. Even in Dangerous Waters the only sensors considered to be "true" are the active sonar and the radar, but those remove your surprise advantage. All in all, the Mk. 48 ADCAP really only needs a bearing, a minimum RTE distance, and a speed setting. At the moment, I use assisted targeting, but I have been learning from everyone's tutorial videos and have started putting into practice taking a little time to plan my attack, if I can and don't just blindly run into a random freighter contact. It has resulted in me getting more hits now than misses. Your crew can only work with what you give them.

You're doing it right. Boat positioning is the key to successful attacks and the best way to learn that is by using automatic targeting so your primary focus is on boat positioning. If you look into my Dick O'Kane Manual Attack Method, you'll see that later you can turn your learning process on its head, entering TDC information first, at least 30 minutes ahead of torpedo firing, then maneuvering your boat into the correct position to shoot by those predetermined settings. This allows you to take all the time pressure away and shoot more accurately than an automatic targeting scenario.

This is with a remade sound track after the publishers of Pink Floyd thought my use of their 40 year old music dipped into their income stream instead of advertising their product and increasing their income stream as it really did. Now Pink Floyd is gone from my video and from my music collection. Greedy parasites! I was doing them a service. No more. They needed me. I didn't need them.

The modern era of downloading music for free or paying just a couple of dollars for endless streaming of music suggests that music is almost for free and it doesnt take much (neither time nor talent nor a proper education) to create it. But guess what: It does require a lot of time, highly qualified musicians (if it's proper music, endless amount of hard work and a lot of talent. it is NOT free and it has to be paid for PS: Thank yo uvery much for your tutorials ;)

This music was paid for 40 years ago. That's how it got into my record collection. Even at the time, not many people listened to Meddle. The album after that, Dark Side of the Moon, sucked all the oxygen out of the air and Meddle doesn't have many who have heard it. Thanks to my first vid, people heard part of one song and read my endorsement encouraging them to buy the music. That is called advertisement. People responding to my advertisement paid for Pink Floyd's forgotten music. That is until some stupid oaf saw fit to complain and hit Your Tube with a takedown request. After all, it wouldn't be good for people to listen to 40 year old music and then seek to buy it. So I decided that Pink Floyd was just window dressing for my video, not needed. However, Pink Floyd needs people like me to advertise their music. Otherwise nobody will learn about it and wish to buy it. Who am I to argue with their foolisness? Their music and the income it generated is gone. I don't need them.

WEll I see your point I can somehow understand why you are angry. :) by the way: A lot of Floyd's Albums needed time until critics saw their brilliance, even Dark Side of the Moon. I think Meddle is great and not only because of Echoes. One of these Days is a blast, really love that song.

I assure you Pink Floyd didn't need you lol Besides, your beef is with the publisher, not the band.
