I have few questions for weterans.
Vanilla 1.5

1. When I am aiming to the ship using a hydrophone with a specyfic direction and asking my crew for a report, they tells me about another ship that is 40 degrees next to it and there are no other ships in that direction. It's a bug?

2. How to estimate (set) the enemy convoy course without map update?
There is no problem with a single target when I'm using hydro and sonar but when there is more ships there then I have a problem with hydrophone that I mentioned before.

3. Where is torpedo best aimed? Directly into the middle with hope for breaking the construction?
It is sense for hiting the same place many times? Does the draft of the torpedo change enything? If the keel is rounded, does it affect the torpedo reflection?

4. Are there other methods for manual targeting than TDC + mast height or Dick O'Kane method?

5. How effective are passive acoustic torpedoes? Are they the best?

6. Does the enemy use torpedoes against you? If he does, how to deal with it, exactly with acustics?

7. Is it true that the enemy can not detect you using radar before 1943?

8. When I use sonar, I get wrong measurement.
I'm aiming at specific direction, pinging the battleship several times, turning off the engines and being underwater then I get 3500 yd measurement. If I use stadimeter or deck gun, the distance is 6,500-7,000 yd and this is the correct distance. I've had it so many times and I do not know what I'm doing wrong.

9. How to reset TDC form any data and measurments?
