Firing solution displayed in the TDC

[Platapus]

Ok, I am back to playing SH3 and loving it. I am using nothing but manual targeting so I really want to learn how to do it right. Hence a really basic question<img>

Once I have taken all my readings and transmitted them to the TDC, there is a line that is displayed from my submarine. What is this line and where should it be pointing?

a. It is the firing solution and therefore should intersect with the target

b. It is the predicted torpedo track and therefore should lead my target

Which is it? Knowing what the line represents will help me evaluate my solution

Its the projected torpedo path. It should definitely be ahead of your target.

Ahh reason number 932 for why I miss.

Much thanks for clearing this up for me

In reality that line isn't going to help you much. You can't use it to guage with any accuracy BUT you can use it to do a quick visual check. If you are experienced enough you might be able to tell if you solution looks off. But all in all I barely ever look at it.
