Hi
I have played around 10 hours of SH5 now and still have a problem hitting ships

My realism settings are low so things should be real easy but still i have the majority of my torps whizzing off into the deep

Is there a mod to enable auto aim or constant lock on ?
Yes i know lots of you guys will say it will turn into a point and shoot game.
But right now i have enough trouble evading enemy escorts and keeping the sub off the seabed
Its ruining my enjoyment and even led me to stop playing for a few months but i love everything about the game

I have downloaded the JSGME and also the one ship one torp mod and open horizons 2. although i have not enabled anything yet

Are there any other mods to be used as a must have ? or to make gameplay just a bit smoother

I have read through the mods section and it seems like the proverbial minefield so any help would be appreciated

Steve

Thanks for your help

ive found getting into a good position is vital in getting off an easy shot im on 190k tonnnage now and i like you before was firing fish and thinkg wtf why its going miles away?

watch this http://youtu.be/x6In78H5RyQ it helped me a lot if i apply the same things

1.Good angle on target, if i can i get in a good position at p depth nice and early, then keep an eye on his course and sit and wait for him to come to me.

2.Turn on the torpedo solution line and numbers .

3.Dont use time comp too much , since if he changes anything you need to react quickly, i use only x4/x8 comp when im setting up a solution and only for a short time.

4.In order to garuntee a kill i use 2 eels on anything above a medium size ship(1 on small ships and realy small stuff i just use the deck gun) and i fire a 2 shot spread with a small spread angle to try and hit smack bang in the centre with both, now i miss only on snap shots and if i try to pick out multiple targets in a convoy with a poor solution.

for me if im in position i usualy sink what i aim at, and not long ago i couldnt hit anything.

Practise what the guy says in the video..it works.

Thanks
I read a TUT that included locking then unlocking the target, i tried this and got a kill first time. i was pretty happy until i tried it again on 5 other ships and missed them too :damn:

I will view the Vid and see how it goes
