I am having problems hitting ships with my torpedo's, i am not using manual targating. I am missing with what should be auto targeting. Any help on how to shoot and hit torpedo's with the auto targeting would be a great help :)

Thnx in advance.

Auto-targeting is no longer that auto.

You need to guesstimate the lead you need to put with the periscope on the target ship. Lock the ship, check map. Hope this (short description) makes sense.

Like when we had the 360 bearing tool mod? You would wait until about 10 or so deg before launch?

If you can Guesstimate the lead, you don't need "Auto Targeting"

If you can do manual tageting, you don't need "Auto Targeting"

You could be a politician. :haha:

"We have auto-targeting but you have to do it manually." :har:

No insult intended, I just found it a very humorous comment.

But.... all those people telling me all this time this was going to be an dumbed down arcadey kiddie game. They couldn't have been... wrong, could they? This is just terrible news. I'm crushed. That's the only reason I was going to buy it. :wah:

Surprising. i would`ve thought it more arcade. Which means it caters to the realism\mature crowd. Good news. But it surprises me that they expect the more realism\mature crowd to accept such a draconian 24\7 DRM system. We tend to resist these things on principle better than the arcade crowd.

I`m still not buying until that drm is gone.

I don't think they thought about Silent Hunter V or it's community at all when designing DRM. It simply fell under "all our games".
