also i have long wished they fix the bug where if you open the tube doors and dont fire within 15 seconds of them being opened then when you do fire your torpedo you will still get the delay of the tubes opening before launch even though the doors are already opened.

Sir my goal is to make one plus one equal three. I have more chance of success than you do.
Why would you WANT to shoot torpedoes with the doors shut? Why is it a bug if the doors don't open instantly? Have you timed the doors on a real submarine? Do they open in zero seconds? Wouldn't it be a bug if the game doors opened in zero seconds? The word "bug" means something. Misusing it shows contempt for reality at worst and sloppy English at best.
What in the world are you calling a bug? For the game to not be bugged all torpedoes must hit the target no matter how ineptly you shoot? A bug is when a feature works realistically, causing you to miss the target? Even in Unreal Tournament III (not a simulation) you have to reload your weapon or it will stop shooting.
Think about this: satisfaction, pride and sense of accomplishment comes from mastering a set of skills that you have had trouble learning. Without difficulty and without overcoming difficulty, satisfaction and happiness are not possible. This is true not only in Silent Hunter, but in life itself. We have no right to expect that ANYTHING work in the way we expect it to. Our task is to find out how it does work and then learn to use that to make life more agreeable to us. Normally I would slide off into a discussion of situational morality being exactly what you expect here, that things be true simply because we wish them so. But I won't. I'll reduce it here to mathematics. Overcoming difficulty=happiness=accomplishment. We<>God. Conformity to reality=happiness. Acting contrary to reality=unhappiness + failure.
As others have said, even auto targeting will not save you if you are too lazy to open the torpedo doors before you shoot. I can tell you why you are hitting some targets but missing others, but it's not worth the trouble. I am left wondering whether you returned your car as defective because it wouldn't drive before you started the engine.
I wonder if it is even possible to communicate how ludicrous your "bug" allegation is, based on the preposterous premise you have stated. Why do I feel like Ducimus here?
