Also, I use auto-targeting cause I'm not so fast with the math.

Can auto-targeting be overridden and target info be fed into the SONAR or RADAR?

I sure hate to let a target get away just cause the weather is a little 'blustery'. Nasty weather, even typhoons, add to the realism, so I'm not too interested in disabling it.
If you have Radar, Get to 600 Yds of target as seen on attack screen, Your Periscope/TBT bearing set to target position. this is your fish path, now you will need to lead target course to hit. By useing off-set dial 3-5 degrees,depending on targets speed. When you impact/flame target stand-off,& use deck gun to finish you will see flame thru fog,but they can't see you. Takes practice because target jumps positon due to radar sweep,& close range. Open outer doors, or you will miss, set 10 Ft. fast, contact influence.LOL
