PLAYING FROM THE NAV STATION
With your Auto Crew activated, it is possible to play much of the game from the Navigation Station.
Using a combination of voice commands, and the Orders,Contact and Ownship menus you can
navigate, track,classify and attack enemy ships, launch Special Forces, and read your message
traffic.You still need to go to the Periscope Station to see the outside world or conduct an ESM
search.You must go to the Fire Control Station if you want to reload a tube, enter specific weapon
presets or wire guide a torpedo.
ATTACKING SEA TARGETS FROM NAV
To select a sea contact, a contact symbol must be present on the Nav map.When ON, your Sonar
Auto Crewman marks and classifies contacts.The TMA Auto Crew creates a firing solution for
contacts within range of your submarine.
TO LAUNCH WEAPONS AGAINST SURFACE AND SUBMARINE TARGETS
Using the Contact menu:
1. Right-click the contact symbol to display the Contact menu.
2. Select Engage With and specific tube number.The name of the weapon loaded in the tube
appears after the tube number.
■ If the Fire Control Auto Crewman is ON, presets are entered for the weapon based on the firing
solution information and the platform classification.
■ If the Fire Control Auto Crewman is not ON, weapons fired from the Nav Station use the default
weapon settings.
■ The Engage With menu does not appear for Unknown/Unknown contacts displaying a line of
bearing. For contacts with a LOB and a classification, the Engage With menu displays weapons
appropriate for the type of platform specified.
Using Orders or Ownship Menu:
Fire Tube: If you have assigned a target to a tube from the Fire Control Station, this menu option is
available on these two menus.
• Select the desired tube to fire the weapon.
NOTE: An Unknown/Unknown contact does not have an Engage With option in its Contact menu.
Until you designate the contact as surface or subsurface the game doesn’t know which type
of weapons to place in the Engage With menu.
LAUNCHING LAND ATTACK MISSILES FROM NAV
Land contacts with an L designation can be targeted from the Nav with a land attack missile.
1. Right-click the land contact to display the Contact menu.
2. Select Engage With.Only Land Attack Missiles are available from the menu.If no Land Attack
Missiles are loaded in any of your tubes there will not be an Engage With option.
3. Select the desired tube.The weapon launch sequence is initiated and cannot be stopped.
OWNSHIP WAYPOINTS
Whether you play the game from the Navigation Station or spend your time in Sonar and TMA, it is
nice to give your helmsman some standing orders and let him steer the ship. Placing waypoints on
the map automatically activates the Auto Helmsman. See Ship’s Stations/Auto Crewmen on p. 146
for information on how to utilize this crewman.
