Yesterday I was trying to take down a tanker, ran out of forward facing torpedoes, so I moved into position for an aft tube shot, however it went wrong and I missed completely, this is what I did -
The target was coming from the right so I set the scope to 200 (if the target was coming from the right for a front tube attack I'd set the scope to 20).
Range was already set, but I clicked on the send to TDC button twice anyway.
I set the AOB to port 70 degrees, because I was on the targets port side and 70 is 90 minus the offset in the scope (20) and then I clicked the send to TDC button twice.
Speed was already set, but again I clicked on the send to TDC button twice anyway.
Then I fired when the target was passing 200 on my scope.
The fish then went and did a u-turn and headed for a point in front of my sub.
So what went wrong?

Gyro errors happen, also did you check the range dial? sometimes it sets back to 200 and will cause it to make a hard turn.
Also, the PK is NOT complicated, you enter the data, enter it into TDC, activate PK, it updates info without looking at target, based off you the initial info you put in.Try the PK again, it's simple and easy.Never understood why many get intimidated by the PK, it's a huge asset in this sim as it was in real life.
