While I do manual targeting I really do not do it realistically or how a sub commander would.
Being a right wing Christian American shooter at the gun club as often as possible I simply see the target guess the speed from experience make sure the angle is right and set the fish angle as I think will work.
It is not much different than shooting various firearms but::::::::

What I would like to see rather than the current choice which is player must do every single thing and then set them is this. If I could ask for range, speed, direction etc then set the torpedo angle from the WO report I would be doing what I do now but with crew input.
The way it is now either one excepts the calculations and fires or does every aspect manually of all crew members involved is a wide path, IMO.

Notice on the surface you can ask for nearest ship and get position and range relative to the U-boat but not so submerged.
I would like that same information available submerged but feel the Kaleun should dictate torpedo heading as well as when to fire.

After doing the same hip shooting for a couple years with no other calculations I rarely miss and feel the time concentrating on the target is better than rechecking data.

But, to each his own.

I most certainly agree with those that state there is no "correct" way to enjoy this other than the one that suits each person best.
I believe most of us mean our method as a how we do it share approach and not as a my way's better than your way as the right way is what ever you like it to be.
