Go to the deck gun, shoot a few shots yourself - using the range you obtained from the TBT, of course. Hit it a few times, then give it back, and magically, the crew will start hitting it. Of course, don't accidentally "target" a friendly with your binocs afterwards, 'cause they'll hit it on the first shot...   |
Just make sure to wait 5 minutes between dives (simulating low pressure blow?) to obtain an accurate stop watch dive time. If you just surface and simply wait for your watch crew to populate the bridge and then dive again, the boat just plunges down quickly. The boat isn't really surfaced. It has "surfaced" but hasn't yet completed the low pressure blow. Watch and see how long it takes for the boat to rise from 20 feet to 18 feet.
I'm not unhappy with my dive times, it just seems that the boat gets "stuck" too long at 22 feet on the dive from 18 feet (Balao Class)
