I have seen this youtube video a few times by now and it seems like he is using calculating chances- Lock to get a torpedo-path then unlock(break lock) to change the path of the torpedo.
I'm doing the same-Lock to get a path then unlock. Then I use my attack periscope(I don't know how he manege to change the direction of this white colour) I can only change it by turning my Attack periscope from left to right or viceversa and then make a calculated chance.
I have read in the manual and tried to find some kind of tutorial videos on youtube. This to find out why my XO are very very bad at this targeting thing.
Either he give me the same solution as always-range 500 meters(and it doesn't matter if the ship is 15,2,25 or 3000 meters away) and he keep on saying speed 0.
Or does he need two "marks" one lock then down periscope and after about 3.5 minutes periscope up and a new lock on target to get a correct solution ?
Have just been playing and I tried this manually targeting-made changes in the solution my XO gave me and of course it was a miss(I said I'm bad at this) Had to dive and run away. Some days later I ran into an lone merchant and locked on to the target and my XO gave me the same solution as I had used some days before(in the game)
I have clean install-patched to 1.20 NO MODS
Here in my thread someone wrote using automatic targeting would result in 90 % hit, not in my sub world and I wonder why-I have unmarked(is that the correct English word) the "use manually targeting" in my game setting.
On this patrol I have used every torp and got two hit(good chance hit). Only by using my deck gun I got two merchant.

When u ger the XO firing sulotion you ARE NOT using Auto TDC.
To use Auto TDC when you get the XO message
1. Turn on TDC
2. Never Mind
Select 2. Never Mind.
Why?
Because this will let your crew do the firing solution, wich will be correct about 85/90% of the times.
To use the sight in the deck gun, in the upper left part of the screnn u will se a binocular, tap it (u need to be in the deck gun OFC)
U will get a sight with a mil scale, when u get the it to 10 it means the gun is ranged for 1000 meter.
Hope it help.
