TDC solution problems, I give up...
 

I am using TWOS mod and am having big problems getting torpedoes to hit. I have done everything right and I know it. I have watched endless tutorials, I even wrote the process down on a piece of paper to make sure I was doing it right. All of my torps come out of the tube and make a hard left, going nowhere near the intended target. I am constantly shooting behind everything I shoot at. What is going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, if this issue has been addressed I am sorry I couldn't find anyone on the forums having the same problem. Once again thank you in advance, everyone here so far has been extremely helpful and tutorials abound!

Salute!

Might need more info. A guess? I'd say you aren't turning off the TDC after you input data. This would have the effect of not slaving the gyro angle to the Optic you are using (UZO, or Either periscope). If you turn the TDC off after input...your TDC dials should move when you move your optic around. Was that it??

Hi usb
The easiest way to explain to get a result is to use the 90 degree fast shoot where you only need 3 essentials.
The targets speed.
Torpedo speed.
Correct gyro angles.
You do not need to identify or lock the target at any time.
Drawing a line from the target past your boat gives you his course.
You take up a position using the protractor so you are at an angle of 90 degrees at about 1000 metres to his course line.
With the periscope at 0 degrees you have a AOB of 90 degrees.
You cannot shoot at that angle because by the time your torpedo arrives the target will have passed and you will miss.
Click the TDC button to go to manual input.
Put the periscope at 0 degrees.
Enter the targets speed.
Enter AOB 90 degrees at the Periscopes 0 bearing.
Check whether you need Port or Starboard.
You must enter a Range for example 1200 metres even though it is not important.
Click on the button to close the TDC and lock it.
You will notice that the AOB dial you set at 90 degrees will adjust as you move the periscope automatically.
Set your torpedo speed.
Reset your periscope bearing so that the 2 gyro angle dials are both pointing at 0 degrees.
You fire your torpedoes when the target passes through the periscopes vertical cross hair.
Set your torpedoes Depth and making sure the tube doors are open is very important.
That's it done.
Good luck.

Thank you all for the replies, I found the problem. I was not setting the AOB so my Topps were thinking they would hit the other side of the target.
