Exactly.

Do torpedos change direction in flight??

They will make a quick course change if the Gyro Angle is not '0'. As I said, the way I do it is to have Manual enabled, but use the WE as a cheat. Unfortunately he is perfect, so I take several readings, never use him for identification until the target is close enough to recognize myself, and put the 'scope up several times just as I would have to do if I did it myself. I'm still cheating, but this evens the odds for the enemy a little bit, and I keep telling myself at least it 'feels' real, which is all I'm after anyway.

Is it ok to fire torpedo's while the boat is in motion? While in auto mode, will i have to adjust for this in anyway?
|
Submerged? In real life they couldn't hover anyway. They were always in motion. In Auto mode the computer updates the solution constantly, so as long as the tubes are open you can shoot any time you want.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for follow plotted course?

Not that I know of, but then I hardly use the keyboard for anything except the very basics.

I was following a search pattern and suddenly stopped. As far as i could tell this was because my crew was tired? The engine room crew had red exclamations next to them. I sent them to crew quarters and they were ok again soon enough and put them back in the engine room. Do the red exclamation marks mean they are tired?

Yes. You need to change the entire crew out every so often. Watch and engine crew tire faster than control room crew and the torpedo rooms are the worst of all. This was fixed in SH4, which is much better in most departments.
What you need is SH3 Commander. I won't bore you with the list of all the things it does, but shutting off crew fatigue entirely is one of them. It's an external stand-alone tool that works with any supermod.

Thanks for everyone's help. Without this website, I don't think I could figure this game out!

I originally found it while looking for help with SH2. It's a living, breathing treasure trove.
