HELP! MY TDC, maps have gone haywire!
 

I've had to stop the game. As I approach a target, I lock it in my TDC. Soon everything goes screwy. Attacking a large sampan, I was closing perpendicular with the target at 10 degrees starboard and closing to 0 degrees, when suddenly I noticed that the range to target on the TDC was increasing. I checked the map, both strategic and attack, and found that it displayed my sub as going east instead of west (as my compass showed). I let loose a bow torpedo at 900 yards and went to the attack map and saw the torpedo emerge from the bow and make a sharp 180 turn to and pass my stern behind me. But the target was now 0 degrees ahead of me and fully visible as such from the bridge, even without the TDC.

Thoroughly befuddled, I ordered a hard starboard rudder until I had the target at 180 degrees on the TDC. Now the range started decreasing though I was moving flank forward. The maps showed me heading west instead of east. Everything is back to front.

[Offensive acronym removed by OBarbas] is going on? The game has become unplayable. (P.S. I am upgraded to v. 4.1.2

:damn: :roll:

Have consideration for younger people visiting this site. You can get help without swearing.

Try removing mods. If that doesn't work, do a complete uninstall and re-install. I'm assuming your sense of direction is not messed up which happens to some people new to the game.

Have you tried the sub school? If you have the same trouble there, then a fresh install is your best bet.

Thanks PV

No I'm an old hand, started with Sid Myers Silent Service in 1985 on a computer without sound. I know my compass.

I'm doing a complete reinstall now, and upgrading to 4.1.4.

Jeepers, sorry about the 'swearing'. How young are the kids playing this game? My kids' teenage friends use a lot worse acronyms HAHA

OB :lol:

We all have different standards, but why should we kick those who are more sensitive off the board and all the great knowledge here when the parental protection software kicks in? Why lower everyone else to our own expectations?

Mate, what can I tell you. It was an acronym.
