Luckily I saved before I fired them (I am still a noob so I need to have some leniency :P) so im back off to try and survive this first encounter  |
If you are using manual targeting and the only info you entered was what is above you missed two bits of information. The target speed and also the target heading. Speed is important so the TDC knows how much of a lead it needs to give the torpedo to get to the impact spot on time. More importantly is the target heading, this is the targets actual course as it releases to the compass. Without the heading the TDC does not know what direction the target is traveling, thus cannot accurately shot the torpedo in the right direction. In your case your torpedos probably took off in the direction of your previous shot since you did not change the AoB.
To undertand manual targeting watch some of the many vidoes by Rockin Robbins and WernerSobe, they explain this in very easy to understand steps.
