But then i noticed one peculiar thing. After all identification, speed measures are done my crew seems to aim at the CURRENT position of the target istead of aiming before him. Is it some kind of bug or maybe I'm doing something wrong? |
Aim the torpedoes manually. Even with auto-TDC. Watch the angle on the TDC, if it's too much left or right, adjust it accordingly. Turn it off if it's zipping all over. I can kill a dd zig-zagging by aiming it without the computer. I prefer a 0 degree angle. But if it is a sharp angle, compensate. Like if your target is 30 degrees to port, fire a spread at least 30 degrees to port.
Keep in mind that the torpedoes need at least 300 yards to arm. Anything inside that range, it's better to crash-dive, or at least evade.
