We can hope that the torpedo firing sequence will be accurately portrayed in SH5. From what I know, the captain (or IWO in the case of a surfaced attack) gave TDC input data from his observations through the periscope (or the IWO's observations through the UZO) and the weapons officer would input the data. once the order was given to fire, the weapons officer would actually punch the button, not the captain or IWO. I'm fine with it as it is though. The same end result is achieved.
And Hylander - Thomas Jefferson never said that. The term "deflation" used to describe an economic concept didn't exist in his day.
