You and I must be the only ones not seeing the gyro error on a regular basis Beery. After 5 patrols, I have 50,000 tons sunk, 10,000 behind number 1 on the leaderboard. A bit high for my liking, but much better than the 3 or 4 times the leader I'd have with stock sh4. The gyro error has never been a big problem. It's the premature exploders that have gotten me the most.

I've tried to make a lot of approaches to 1000 yards or less, so I've used the lower magnification on the scope quite often without getting massive gyro error. My firing procedure is to launch a salvo 3 or 4 fish in quick succession while changing the gyro angle by half a degree or so to either side depending on range and TDC solution. I always set to high speed and change the depth to 12 to 20 feet for contact or +3 feet to the draft of the ship for magnetic.

I'm perfectly happy with the hardcore torpedo mod, if anything I'd say the contact problem should be increased. Torpedoes that hit straight on at 90 degrees should rarely if ever work until the faulty torpedoes are fixed.
