are you spending enough time plotting?

sometimes ships make slight course corrections and to read this you need to plot a long enough course to see the pattern and target where the ship will be.

all too often someone targets a ship as though its on a straight course at a steady speed only to miss because the ship changes course when the torp is halfway there.

i am no expert on manual targetting but often its easy to do everything right and still miss because of an unexpected course change and there is nothing you can do but start replotting the new course.
