Targeting Display
The targeting display gives a readout of data concerning the currently targeted
sonar contact. To change the currently targeted sonar contact, press r.
CONTACT - the number of the currently targeted contact followed by the
total number of sonar contacts.
TYPE - the type of contact (e.g. SUB - a submarine). This may change as
your sub gets closer to a contact and identifies it more positively.
RATING - the target’s rating (friendly, enemy, unknown).
BEARING - the bearing which you must follow to reach the contact.
COURSE - the course which the contact is following.
SPEED - the speed at which the contact is travelling.
RANGE - the distance from your sub to the contact, in nautical miles.
CONF - the confidence factor of your submarine’s weapon systems in
hitting the targeted object with an active homing torpedo.
Confidence factors are based on many separate considerations
including the time the object has been tracked for and the amount
of noise it is making. Confidence factors in excess of 100 are
required to guarantee a hit.
Note: if a torpedo is fired at you, it will be targeted automatically to give you the
maximum chance of avoiding it. By making maximum use of the external views, you
should be able to anticipate the torpedo’s manoeuvres and outsmart it.
