Ok I finally figured out that if your not using manual targeting like me, then when you have a target in your crosshairs you have to click on the lock button 3 times in order to properly target a ship with a torpedo. This is only for non manual targeting guys! I know that a lot of you guys prefer to use manual targeting but there are some of us that don't. Please don't think too harshly of us beginners, we all share a love for this simulation, just in different degree's.
