Still firing 3 degree spreads but I figure as I get more experience with the US TDC I will be able to trim torpedo usage.

I do believe that the TDC has some bugs though. Target transition seems time consuming on a similar if not exact 2nd target. It seems to me that you must re-enter all data points or the torp goes in the wrong direction. RADAR should also be able to provide semi-accurate ranges as well as SONAR. I am very aware of the time between bearings check for speed but it does not seem to work right in my install.

Convoys seem to run 9 or 11 kts mostly

Is anyone getting a lock up when clicking the Stadimeter? I have had a few. I always have to save before doing that

I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE SIM! When did Silent Hunter I come out? I have been waiting that long.
Yes, it has been confirmed the TDC has a bug, they will fix it.

Agreed, the sim has some bugs but overall it rocks. I like it as much as SH3. I am confident the next patch will make us all fly the Romanian flag again.
