Because the German TDC was different? US boats did not fire spreads in the same way as Germans AFAIK. Not a good answer but there it is.

The difference was in the TDC. The American TDC had a global setting which had to be manually changed for each torpedo fired. The German TDC distributed the total spread angle among the torpedoes fired. I agree with tater that as far as the captain is concerned, both systems are identical, so a correct reproduction of the machinery resulted in a too-cumbersome game experience. Usually you're only firing 2 or 3 fish anyway, so it's manageable. However, if you're throwing 6 to 10 fish at a CV...
Hey, I'm playing the game tonight to help gutted with the nuts and bolts of his system. Basically I'm going to try to point and shoot with manual settings. Should be fun. Any pointers? I'll check back after awhile.
