Thanks for your replies.
Probeanie, why do you lock the position keeper before you shoot? Seems like an extra step to me? I usually open tube doors, position scope just slightly in front of aiming spot on target and then press enter to fire as aiming spot goes over the cross hairs in scope. Just curious, please tell me the advantage of using the Position Keeper.
Sniper297, I have SH4 with the additional U-Boat Mission pack, thus it includes v1.5 updates. I use Webster's GFO v1.1 mod plus some others. I also use Automatic aiming, not manual.
I happened to notice a few days ago, when using the "L" key or the red select button to identify a target, the torpedo depth ring immediately rotates & changes only that one selected tube when I pressed either the "L" or the red select button. I could then toggle with the "W" and all the other depths remain as previously set until I again used the "L" or red select button on another target which then changes its torpedo depth.
Note: the depth always changes to the draft in the recognition book minus one. So, the amount of change would always depend on the targets draft. The torpedo depth dial has a minimum of one meter but normally sets on 1.75-meters. For instance, the battleship in the sub school changes from the 1.75 to 5.75-meters and most likely has a draft of 6.75-meters.
This is probably no big deal except if you've locked onto a battleship or carrier with a large draft and then decided to quickly re-aim the scope at a destroyer with a 2.8-meter draft. If you don't re-locked the scope, you'd be shooting with the wrong torpedo depth setting.
I hope this is helpful.
