Ran into a problem already.

Does the Weapons officer make mistakes with Torpedoes? Or am I the one making mistakes?

Tell me where I'm going wrong:

Step 1: I press F3 and go to periscope, I raise the periscope and turn around. I see different ships. Some have a green arrow, some have a yellow arrow and some have a red arrow. What is the difference between these arrow colors?

Anyway, I pick a ship with a yellow arrow on it, and it's automatically identified as a cargo merchant. I then press Tab to zoom in, then I press lock to lock on to it.

Step 2:

I go down to the weapon officer and click on torpedo attack, then I click on identify,and find solution.

Step 3:

I click on hatch number 1 to open it, then I press fire. Do I have to stay on the F-3 periscope screen after I fire a torpedo?

Step 4:

The torpedo goes straight out of my sub's front. Whereas the target was off to the side.

In other words, a complete miss.

Where did I go wrong?

----------------------

(I also notice that I always miss whenever I use hatch number 5. Is there something special about torpedo hatch 5?)
