(1st ping write down the range, wait 3 minutes, 2nd ping write down the range, subtract 1st ping from 2nd ping and you end up with the distance the target travled in that 3 minute time.) There is a map mod that has a time, speed, and distance calaculator I use to get there rough speed. I found that all parts of the ocean have what is called a thermal layer, you can use that to run at FULL or even FLANK speed to close the range. The when your within say 2000 to 1500 yards pop up to 60 feet and fire your torp.

i think is better avoid tips like this for a beginner like Julie, sonar and radar for the moment is useless, maybe you want scary Julie right?
I dont understand if Julie use the auto targeting, how is possible missing a ship...maybe that AutoTargeting can miss one ship, but not more than two in a row, or those destroyers accelarate like dragsters?
I used the AT in the beginning of my patrols and is very boring, since for the fact is a point and shoot system, with a 99% torpedo impact without a minimum of fun and human tactics....but wait, is a good tool for a beginner, but dont abuse, switch sometimes from AT to MT(i dont talk about cars
), and have fun, choose your maps contacts on like Torpx just said, and like I use too
is very hard from here found a definitive solution for you, only I can say that a lot of tutorial and a great support is here, so have a good hunting and dont desperate
sorry if I say something wrong
