Thx for the advice, I will promote him when were back in Kiel. Or is it possible during a patrol?

Manual targeting isn't so hard if you know a little math and stick to the 90 degree angled attack. You just have to know the speed of your target, watch the tables Magui Final listed, and hope he is not changing that, which happened on my third patrol. He speeded up from 6 to 8,5 knots, so two torpedos missed.

I hunted him down and gave it another shot, he was still zigzagging but I got him anyway. The hydrophone is a good friend to follow a target without getting noticed.
