Hello,
ok, done it exactly like said in all those manuals, and i also remember this whole stuff, but - it does not work. I never hit anything.
Just an example:
We are roughly in a "T" situation, i am running towards his broadside, but my bow points a bit ahead of him, say 20 degrees = 340 degrees seen in the 'scope. Freighter is moving from left to the right.
So the freighter is appx. 20 degrees off my bow, to the left.
Distance is 320 meters.
AOB is (looking from the freighter at me) appx. 60 -70 degrees.
Speed is 8 knots.
What i did:
1. Recognition manual ... Taihosa freighter ... box checked.
2. Set torpedo depth to 3 feet.
3. Open torpedo tube
4. Take distance via periscope (target is too close for UZO) = 320 meters, checked the box (did not fully extend periscope, just that you see something).
5. Set angle off the bow = meanwhile 80-90 degrees (freighter has steamed on on its course).
6. Fire torpedo --> leaves the tube, makes a left turn and goes off at appx. 270 degrees, or exactly left to my current course.
Recheck torpedo settings, still showing the 8 knots i entered.
What is going on here ?
Do you have the SHIV U-boat add-on (patch 1.5), and hit anything ?
I really don't understand it.
Thanks and greetings,
Catfish
