Hey, first post here with a few questions

Been playing an s-boat campaign (full switch)

I've been informed that the S-boats did not ever have TDCs fitted to them. Is this information accurate?

If S-boats did not have TDCs, was there a means of setting a torpedo gyro angle manually or where they strictly straight run?

Supposing that you're in a newer sub, say a tambor equipped with mark 10 torpedoes, would they work with the TDC there?

I've hunted around for information on this, but frankly trying to find information on the mark 10 is much harder than finding information on a mark 14.

Strangely, it seems it's also easier to find information on German s-boots than it is to find information on the s class submarine.

Anyways, been having fun restricting myself to 0 bearing shots without the tdc. Seriously useful skill to have.
