Bubblehead1980,
Thank you so much for your Reply, and the thorough explanations!
After sleeping on it for a night, I came to the conclusion that my issues come strictly from trying (or wanting) to get too ahead of myself. I'm wanting to get into the hunt and I'm trying to fire torpedoes without knowing or understanding the underlying theories behind making a successful MANUAL Firing Solution.
It's a simple case of putting the cart before the horse, and the end result is that I have a lot, lot more to learn before I even attempt to think about Manual Targeting! That's why Submarine School is part of the Sim...
Read the Manual, read the Manual, read the Manual. I have to learn how to crawl before learning to walk. Nothing is truer than your statement.
Thanks again!
Alan
