Right now, I can ONLY get any sort of success in this game with my aiming set on automatic. I've read the manual, watched all the tutorials on YouTube about how to do it manually and REALLY, the manual method looks genuinely fun. But I've had this sim for less than one week and I am just not getting it all yet. I Know that I will eventually learn it all and I will spend many hours getting lost in this great simulation. But until then, I am using automatic aiming in my career games. I am manually targeting ships in the quick missions and I'm dying and dying and dying... ad nauseum.

Early in one of my games I discovered the Q key quite by accident. I bumped the key inadvertently and then I saw what it did. Suddenly I realized why my boat was taking so darn long to fire off a torpedo. But no more now. However, I also got to thinking that it would only make sense that the torpedo door would need to be closed for the crew to reload. So, the next time they crew reloaded, I tried and Q key and sure enough, I opened the door. So remember that the door closes for reloading. And it does NOT tell you that it is closing. I'm gonna have to slap some of my crew members around for not keeping me in the loop - such as that one dude that's supposed to tell when I pass the thermocline but he doesn't.

Interesting... As the Mexicans would say: "Tu tienes huevos grandes, chico."
