That stupid Position Keeper is totally taking me out of this game.

Am I wrong, or is there absolutly no way to aim a torpedo in this game using the TBT or scope crosshair to point at spots on a target? If you're not aware, after setting AoB in this game the scope has no aiming purpose.
You can aim at different parts of the target using the position keeper. Youre just used to sh3 where you have to aim with crosshair for different parts. US optics works little different and are actualy more accurate if used properly.

You have to use spread angle when youre aiming for special parts not the crosshair.

Its best explained with an example. Lets say you lock on a Heavy Cruiser and want to place a torpedo right under its main battery which is about first third of the ship. You must now count the horizontal periscope marks from the center to the point you want to hit. Each mark is 1° in low zoom and 0,25° in high zoom. So lets say its 6 marks in high zoom and the target goes from left to right. You must set spread angle 1,5° to the right.

Another option is just like SH3. You dont have to use the position keeper. Its just a nice tool to "predict" your firing solution and make it more accurate for longer period of time. If you want to get off a quickie just let the position keeper off. Set up a solution and aim with crosshair.
