Torpedo arriving to late

You are not leading it enough. Try 20 degrees. If that doesn't work, got to 30. That's what the save game function is for!

Ehr, not sure how you're targeting, but if you're firing on 0 bearing using the scope set to a predetermined angle, with your course at a right angle to target course, you should leed by 13 (12.8) degrees instead of 10... at least if my trigonometry is correct, which it may not be. :lol:

14 degrees for middle speed, 18.4 for low speed. Of course, that all goes out the window if you upgrade your torpedoman (boosts torp speed).

If it's a solo target and you're 3000m away, I'd probably reposition ahead of him so you're more around 800m away to ensure a good hit.
