So what you are saying, is that I have to check the bearing change by Visual Eyesight? How will I be able to see, with my own eyes, thru a periscope, at 1100 yards, if he changes his course by 3 degrees?

Getting frustrated again.. Ubi.. please fix the auto bearing finder..

I know what you did wrong and in fact I was doing it wrong to!

The time you spend entering the AOB and estimating the speed, the bearing changes! And the bearing is only updated in the TDC by the synchronisation button on the stadimeter (first tool of the 3)! Just before launching the torp with AOB and speed set, you should go to the stadimeter and send another time the infos to the TDC or the bearing information in the TDC will be false and you will fire behind the target!



On the video below, you can see that just after entering speed, I launch the first torpedo without re-updating the bearing in the TDC. And just after that I launch a second torpedo with bearing updated. The two torpedoes take very different route and the first one miss but not the second one!

I realize that you don't know what is the bearing I talk about! There is no link at all with the course of the target! It's the number you can read at the top of the screen when using the periscope. You should be able to read that!
