The Passenger/cargo is annoying, yes, I tend to not shoot at those unless I have no other choice available....

I've had the best results with one hit kills on those when I aimed for the stern, basically aim for the point the stern gets higher from the aft cargo hold... that should (usually) sink them fairly quickly but your mileage may vary...:shifty:

If you use the God's eye view option, then you can see the target on the targeting map and you can adjust the torpedo line as you see fit, but I don't use that option.

Unlock the scope. The TDC will put the torpido on track to hit where your parascope line is looking at. You enter all the course and speed and AOB data, put your crosshair on the part of the target ship you want to hit and then fire; as mentiond you should try to fire when your TDC gyroangle is at 000. I generaly try for pluss or minus 10 on the gyro.

Reach for the bow.
Fast 400m AoB 90,magnetic under and watch her change in to submarine. :arrgh!:
Automatic targeting is even simpler if you use magick triforce of wisdom. Just unlock target, point perscope near anchor, Los!
