Am I right in thinking from your posting that you have been playing with TDW’s UI but it is not doing what you want it to do?.
I am a little confused as to whether you want to play with Auto TDC, Manual TDC or the option of both. If you just want Auto TDC then untick the Manual Targeting box in the Game Play Options screen. The XO will still give you the option to turn the TDC either On or Off.
I do not know which UI version you are using but I would recommend TDW 7_4_2 New UI as a good base platform and is not difficult to set up especially as you only need to use the 3rd one of the 13 folders in the mod if you want to keep everything simple.
Have you seen in TDW's Navigation Map and TAI Map more further game play options that you can turn on and off.
One essential thing is that you will need is his TDW Generic File Patcher as it contains the Torpedo Patches. If you have been playing the game without the patches enabled then you will get problems. Likewise if you have given your Torpedo man points then again this will corrupt your targeting.
There is also TDW’s Option File Editor to think about that can be enabled from within his base mod.
The other thing to think about when you go to choose your Campaign there are different levels of difficulty to choose from. Also in the Options menu you can customise the Game Play settings to suit your playing level.
OHII is a must and has just been recently updated from V2.2 to V2.3 and also needs the v2.3 patch to go with it.
Over the past year I have played with several different UI’s, thinking at the time that TDW’s was too complicated for me, but I was wrong and in my opinion gives the best gaming experience.
Try not to go overboard with your mod soup while you are feeling your way 10 to 20 should be more than enough to start with at this stage. Once you have got your game working to your liking it is easy to add more.
I would like to try and help you as best I can so maybe you could give me a little more information and background to where you are with your game at the moment.
