Clay,
I have not played auto but I suspect that on the TDC when you switch to torpedo settings you can set spread. Now, the first torpedo leave at 0. The next torpedo turn the spread knob left or right depending on the direction of the target. When you select the next torpedo, you will see that the spread is already set up from the second torpedo you just set. You might think that this is stupid but it is not. The reason, torp one is fired at 0 spread. Wait 10 seconds and fire torpedo 2 that is set at say 1 degree. Wait 10 seconds and fire torpedo 3. Again, the game sets the spread on the next torpedo as the previous torpedo automatically. So torp 3 should show at a 1 degree spread. Now, the sub has moved forward so many yards in that 30 seconds of torpedo firing thus making the torps spread down a path this is in line with target and giving you a higher degree of making a kit. Basically are are making a fanned out wall of torpedoes swimming at hopefully the entire side of the target. Percentage of getting a hit is very good! What I do Clay is play the torpedo submarine school. The warships is just lumbing along at 9 knots all the time. So go load this up set you TDC to 9 knots, just get a quick range by pinging the target and go play with torpedo settings. See what happens when you spread them via the TDC. Great little scenio for understanding the TDC
