Aiming Torps

I've taken an extended break from my SH3 career, which I plan to get back to starting tonight, but one question I have is with WO assistance on torp calcs.

How do you aim a torpedo to hit a ship at a certain spot. normally when I lock on a target it aims for the midsection, but if I choose not to lock on but place the periscope over the ship where I want to hit it. As long as the p-scope is on the target ship I can get a calculation for it. Am I correct in this method or do I manually have to aim torpedoes to hit in a certain spot?

You will need to unlock the scope and manually place the crosshairs over the desired spot :)

Input target information.
Turn scope so the Gyro Angle reads "000".
When your desired target spot reaches the center crosshair of the periscope, Fire.
(Best to pre-open all desired tubes).
Good hunting.

Thanks,

sometimes the easy way is least rewarding.
