Thanks for the videos. Unfortunately my question didn't get answered by these - I'm not using manual TDC (and didn't in SH3).

First issue is that when I sight a ship, in SH3 it displayed a graphic of the ship with its depth etc, it was then easy to go F6 into my attack screen and set up each torpedo depth-wise, then open all the bow-caps in preperation. In SH4 I do not get the diagram, I can't set the torp depths as easily, and I can only open one bow-cap at a time.

Second, I had 2 ships, one following the other. My torp depths for tube 1 and tube 2 were set differently. I sighted the first ship, locked with "L" and fired. I sighed the second ship, locked with "L" and fired. BOTH torpedoes hit the same ship!!!! WHY? In SH3 I'd have got clean hits on both ships, so why did 2 torps go for the same target when I sighed 2 different targets?
