RJW-vintage DDs are just large versions of TBs.

maybe. I could probably miss it. Don't you think a some on-screen icon displaying aproximately weather conditions would be great?

Why do you say that being able to aim a ship's torps at a specific target is useless in DG? It works fine for me and I find it quite useful.

I mean SEPARATE targeting! I doubt I can find any reasonable situation in which guns should fire in one direction and torpedoes opposite! In DG I mean - in Jutland as I've already told it may be quite reasonable - maybe.
Considering fact that sometimes torpedo targeting commands does not work at all - I order to target specific ship, but target is changed suddenly - please, check this out, might be bug
And of course - I understand how visibility affects targeting - so please - do not send me back to manual
All I want to say that separate targeting is complex but does not solve the main (IMHO) problem - shooting from margin distance. When DD enters targeting range - it should prepare weapons to be ready to launch torpedoes by order - but not to throw them from 1km! To achive this you must do a lots of tricky things - target only from short distance and wait untill torpedoes train to target - which is sometimes too dangerous - or stop targeting just before launch - and target again at short distance - or do a lot of tricky manoeuvres... These all are toooo complex - especially when you attack by several DD at the same time. All is required - as I think - is a button Hold torpedoes/Release torpedoes - and DD might become quite helpful when they start to launch torpedoes just when YOU want it - not they
