Heh. I tried manual targeting in SH3 once. Never managed to hit anything.
You might try one of these methods:

That's how I got started in manual targeting. Set it up right, and range doesn't matter.

I would think so, but I never use it. Perhaps someone else can better answer that.

Yeah, sounds like your data is a bit off. Practice, practice, practice. Try using the stadimeter and checking your data on the attack map screen until you feel very comfortable doing it.

That should work, at least enough for you to hit the target. The map tools can be a bit inaccurate.

I'm usually playing early war, so I set my torpedoes to run as shallow as possible. Either set the depth to minimum, or leave it at the default depth.

Thx for all your help.

Not sure on that one. I play TMO, and haven't touched RFB in a long time.
