Fright52 I can't understand why the torpedoes don't go where they are supposed to unless you are moving the scope off the target.
You must have the scope aimed at the target for each torpedo you fire.
Make sure you're not firing stern torpedoes for a bow target, that will give you a big U turn.

Try this get the target in the scope and lock the scope with the L key.
This locks the firing solution and the scope, to the middle of the target (mot) and it will stay there. Don't shoot until you get a little green triangle in the scope. There are three triangles you can see, red (no firing solution), yellow (a not very good solution) and green, good firing solution.
Fire all your bow torpedoes and they all should hit in the very same place.
You unlock the scope by hitting the L key again.

Next try this again from the attack map, you can shoot from there, lock the scope to the target go to the attack map, and you will see a white X and it should be right on the target icon and stay there. There is also a green line from your boat to the target, that is the torpedo track angle, it will be just ahead of the target when you shoot (lead angle). Fire when the target looks like it's almost straight in front of your boat. Again all the torpedoes should hit the same place.
