What should a manual solution be in poor visability? I want to try to hit a ship I have been stalking all night in bad weather....he is about to reach a port and the weather is not clearing.....if I turn away and line my rear for a shot on him can I set aob and bearing to 0 and fire a straight shot using impact detonator? I can hear where he is underwater....I'm not sure of range....given its 1940 and I dont have sonar....so can I just wing it and fire? I have fired in past and they bounce off haul. I am just a minimum firing distance from what I can tell...but, im not sure what I'm doing wrong....am i supposed to set range to 0 so that it arms when it leaves the tube?
