I usually set no.1 to fast, hit "w" set no.2, ect... ect...
The I set the all the depths to 10 and this takes time. The mouse makes the dials quiver and it is difficult to get them all strait. If I want to target something smaller, like a destroyer, I usually just shoot at them and hope the torpedo explodes! Is there a manual way to set the depth? This could save time. I know there isn't a way to set all the speeds simotainously but clicking with that mouse is clunky and inefficient.

If there is a mod to manually set these dials and knobs, I haven't found it, but I would be interested.

I believe there could be a call in data's CFG folder. Commands.cfg if I'm not mistaken, To force the torp into a circling mode but I don't if it would work with Sh4. Alot of those functions are left-overs from Sh3.

[Cmd310]
Name=Open_sel_torpedo_tube
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x51,C,"Q"

[Cmd311]
Name=Close_sel_torpedo_tube
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x51,Cs,"Q"

Sets Q and Shift-Q to open the doors but are they stuck with their last known gyro settings or set to straight run? Aim and shoot with the boat? Once the outer doors are opened, there is no way to set the gyro angles. One Idea I had was to set the Gyro angle on the torps in the lower tubes (3&4) or (5&6) to max left and right and open these doord so they would circle hard on the surface and cadch a destroyer truing to depth-charge me. They need to get pretty close to drop those and a wild torpedo may just catch them.

But all this takes time. Moreso than in real life and until there comes a way to adjust these settings more easily, I guess we will be stuck on pause, fiddling with bobbling dials!
