Once upon a time in the original Silent Hunter game I was too young to understand how a TDC worked.

But I knew how to do deflection shooting from playing Aces of the Pacific.

So I aimed torpedoes by sighting them off the bow and estimating the "deflection" needed by eye observation. Surprisingly, it did work (esp with a bit of trigonometry).

I was rather surprised when I discovered in SH3 that blind firing torpedoes at close range was a valid anti-destroyer technique (being oh so technical and TDC reliant as I am being grown up and all).
