Hi guys, i have a strange issue with attack periscope as i say, i'm at begin and i'm doing tutorial mission, (a torpedo attack type)

When i click in torpedo glass, and so move for direction and select target i click again for see cursor and instead there is a click on fire button, i launch a torped also if i want not!
I hope to explain in right way : so click f3, click in periscope glass for move camera and select target, leave glass with left mouse butto click, and torpedo leave my sub

From what I've read here, this is something that occurs when running the game at particular resolutions, where when you click to make the cursor active again it reappears right over the "Fire" button in the periscope view.

I've not experienced it myself but rest assured, it is a known issue and others here are more familiar with it and should be able to provide assistance.

Are you running a resolution mod? This guy had a similar problem:

If I understand, the game leaves your mouse pointer over the torpedo button, so when you click again, it launches a torpedo.

Anybody else?

Yeah, looks like it has to do with using a resolution mod (I presume the Res Fix) to run the game at 1920x1080.

Apparently the choices to resolve the issue are to pick a different resolution, disable the "Fire" button and use "Ctrl+Enter" instead to launch torps, or else use a mod that actually moves the "Fire" buttons to a different spot in the GUI.
