I know it's a stupid question, but are you opening the torpedo tubes before shooting.

Not really, that delay might be the thing. He's a swabbie. Might be a fantastic call. I love this site. What about it Captain?

At first that may have been an issue but not anymore when my torps tend to go wonky it is when I set range to like 200 meters using the Dick O Kane method of ignoring range.

As for torps missing by a few degrees I am just needing to learn how to dial them in for me I guess

Don't think that is my issue

So you are opening the tubes before shooting then? 200 meters isn't enough for them to even arm and unless you have a perfect 90 degree shot I'd expect much wonkiness.

Yeah I am opening the tubes 100% of the time now first career where I went till about July 42 before restarting I would say I tended to forget about 50% of the time but now it is muscle memory to just hit (W) set torp, hit (Q) open tube and confirm all of them even a second time before firing.

As for range I never shoot under 1,000 yards that my go to range sometimes it will creep below 850 but I hit reverse if I see that solution happening. I hold my fire if I was at or under 600 yards though.

I'm sure you will figure it out. I know I won't! LOL I play baby level, haven't even attempted manual targeting yet and I've played since the game came out.

I think what is getting me is the Torp Lead Angle its the offset needed based upon Targets Bearings and Torp Type/Speed

Your right all get it just need many more firings to solve it all and MoBo is really really helping set up my shots now

Try setting it to max range. Then it shouldn't correct for torpedo-turn-parallax as much. That extra bit of torpedo turn is larger when the target is close rather than distant.
