And yes, it's patched, and yes, I do make sure I have marked the correct ship in the ID book.
Thats because many of the stock mast heights are not correct -IE: The TDC is working off incorrect data from the ship ID book in game, so it plots a range solution consistant with its Known Mast height which if its incorrect provides an incorrect range.

Its an analog computer - Garbage in garbage out.

See Krupp's Mod that fixes this problem.

Range error wont have any effect on stationary targets - only when there moving.

Change the Mogami to a Iowa in the torpedo tutorial and see what you get.
