Damn this is weird. I'm new to this sim and none of it is making sense. To return to the initial query, I have it set to auto and can't get any feeling for how to target

Mostly my torpedoes miss, but I have had one hit. Heres some of the problems:

Sometimes the torpedoes leave the boat on the same bearing of the boat

Sometimes they leave the boat at an angle

The gizmo for choosing the range of the target seems to have no options except match the shape of the ship - you move the mouse up and the overlaid image matches the target. But there seems to be no control over waterline or bridge roof height. Consequently the range to target never seems to change

I thought this sim would be interesting, but it does not seem to behave in any kind of intuitive manner. Surely dumb torpedoes leave the sub in the direction it is pointing. So why do they go off at an angle if it is in anyway an accurate representation
