If a player uses Auto Targeting as his preferred targeting process....accurate measurement is decided by factors other than what's displayed on the Periscope camera view. However, if you use Manual Targeting, your view of the world needs to be accurate if you expect to measure things with the Stadimeter, or the Telemeter Divisions on the scope lens.
ok....i use auto targeting.
i have noticed in TMO+RSRD that my torpedo hits are almost always aft of the center point of the target. i usually almost always shoot with AOB at 90 +/- 5 degrees. could this be a camera issue?
please keep in mind that my intent was a learn a bit more about the external camera vs the free camera. i am not experiencing a shooting issue but the two topics seem to be related.
