I had exactly the same situation tonight but I was in manual targetting mode and also on the surface (it was night time and raining cats and dogs) I got within about 500 yds of the target and simply pointed the sub at it and hit the enter key..........result, a 'one torp' sinking......and boy did it look cool when it blew up....the only fly in the ointment was, he got one hit with his stern deck gun and caused 5% hull damage......right at the start of a patrol to the south china sea.........no deep diving to evade escorts for me, I'm thinking........
