(outdated) TDC MOD (T. Vh. Re. S3)

TDC MOD (T. Vh. Re. S3)BETA This mod adds original torpedo calculator T. Vh. Re. S3 to the game. The device was carefully recreated from the original photos from u-boats and museums. Systems and calculation methods correspond to the real ones. Torpedovorhaltrechner or torpedo data computer (TDC) was the heart of the torpedo fire control system in german u-boats. It was located in the conning tower on the starboard side between the helmsman’s station and the attack periscope. It was an electro-mechanical device that was designed for solving the torpedo triangle, calculating gyro angle and torpedo salvo spread angle. Functional overview The image above shows the main interactive elements of the TDC. All these elements reflect real values and affect the calculations. Torpedovorhalterechner T. Vh. Re. S3 manual https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2161212854 Changed game mechanic aspects NOTE: It is recommended to set the units of measure in the game to the mixed mode, since the TDC operates with knots and meters Torpedo turning radius and gyro angle The mod simulates torpedo turning radius and limits maximum gyro angles. (For all types of torpedoes, an angle of +/-135 degrees is currently used.) PAY ATTENTION TO THE GYRO ANGLE BEFORE FIRING! NOTE: If you try to launch a torpedo with a larger gyro angle than possible, then the torpedo will not be able to reach the specified angle and will stop rotation at maximum gyro angle. Salvo Mod also changes salvo shot behavior. The following picture shows the behavior of torpedoes at various salvo shots with angle of 20°. PLEASE NOTE: TORPEDOES ALWAYS LAUNCH SEQUENTIALLY FROM RIGHT TO LEFT. NOTE: salvo spread angle dial in TDC UI just shows maximum permissible spread angle and it does not automatically updates salvo slider in ingame tropedo UI. DON'T FORGET TO SET DESIRED SPREAD ANGLE MANUALLY OR WITH SALVO UPDATE BUTTON IN INGAME TORPEDO UI User interface basics Here are the basics of interacting with TDC and r
