Torpedo solution SOP.
Close to within 2000m of plotted target track and position yourself 90' to the track.
Identify ship accurately as soon as possible.
Slow to 0-1kts.
At target bearing 45' or 315' relative (AOB should be 45' port or starboard also) do an initial range measurement. Forget ruler on the map.
Use the stock method for gaining speed data. (Lock target and time the target for 30s using notepad stopwatch icon)
THIS ONLY GIVES AN ACCURATE SPEED READING IF YOU ARE AT 1KT OR LESS.
Forget 3.15 method although some folks have success with it.
Click on the tick on the notepad twice. One to accept the data and again to plug in solution. Remain locked on to target.
Set up torpedo depth using ship id book. The draft data is important here. If using magnetic pistols set it 1m below keel. If using impact pistols set up at mid draft.
At 10' or 350' relative open outer doors. When the sound has stopped fire your torpedo. To aim at particular points I unlock just before firing and aim directly at a given spot.
I have just started using manual targetting and I have had a 90% success rate so far using above procedure. Good luck.
PS Use T1 torpedoes and forget the T2s. They are shocking. If theres a warship around, dive deep and change course immediately after firing.
