Oh... bah. Sometimes you can have just rotton luck. Im good at rotton luck.
If your having trouble here is what i would do, to increase my own enjoyment out of the game, if your not already.
- Use autoTDC. No shame in that. Just removes a source of frustration if your not getting the manual way down pat.
- Use and abuse the external cam. The eternal camera is acutally a GREAT training tool for lack of a better term. Watch the behavior of torpedos in calm and rough weather. WHen they deflect, when they don't. Later on you'll start turning it off
If you want, D/L that tweak pack for GWX i concocted with the Neutral boyancy sub model. (link in sig). I mention this because i went about changing some things that were minorly annoying around the edges of the game.
BTW, ive been playing SH3 for since about when it was released, and ya know what..
I still miss, i still have those times where i say to myself, "SINK DAMN YOU!". You should see me when i miss, get pissed off, and because im so steamed, end up missing with all six tubess because i lost my head - tis comedy gold.
