I'll readily confess that I'm used to the tube-by-tube setting ability in
SHIII. I'm also not particularly pleased with the auto-TDC setting depth for me every time I select a target since I know a little something about USN torpedo depth patterns and am adjusting for it. If I didn't have to flip out of the target data page and reset the depth (if not the speed and pistol settings) constantly, I'd probably do a little better. For whatever reason, a torpedo attack in
SHIV seems a lot more like spinning a bunch of plates on sticks all at once instead of the leisurely sniping on careful settings that I get away with in
SHIII.

NorthBeach, I have enough trouble with a completely assisted attack; doing this with my aiming skills would be a larger disaster than it already is. Between the most excellent performance of Japanese naval propulsion and their remarkable maneuverability, about the only way I'll probably get a hit on this convoy is using a nuclear-tipped SS-N-19.
I'm currently very tempted to get a ship physics mod, either of the JREX or Webster variant. Anyone got opinions on either of those?
