Manual Targeting
The decision to use or not to use manual targeting is all a matter of personal choice. It depends upon your level of enjoyment to the various options of the game. IRL kaluens missed more than they hit and even the vaunted US subs took two torpedoes for every ship sunk. That includes junks, fishing boats and garbage scows.
For some the challenge is in the intercept, and the eye candy, taking advantage of the great graphics of their computer and the game. For others it is the problem solving and various techniques involved in sinking a ship.
I have always used manual targeting -- though I have at times used the "gods eye" view. I enjoy the process of detecting, plotting, and tracking the quarry, conducting a successful intercept to a firing position, determining all the available factors in finding a firing solution, and enjoying the satisfying feeling when you torpedo hits where you aimed it.
I still miss more that I hit--but I am getting better.
Keep up the battle
