Default Extremely Noobish Question

Right this may make some of you laugh but I just dont seem to be able to get my stern torpedos to fire straight, no matter what i do they will always circle and start to turn back on me around 270 degrees or something.

I recall the samething in SH3 a few years back but I can't remember how i stopped them then

I am running TMO + RSRDC Please help I am in the perfect place to destroy a Battleship, i just got a Hiryu

Are you playing with manual targeting on?

Well, you're doing something wrong, bearing, speed or AOB.

You can leave the PK off, set AOB to 0, turn range up, and shoot in front of him, but you need speed, so guess. That's just to get you shooting in his directon. Better to learn Cromwell's 45 attack from RR's tutorials.

Look at your attack map and that will show you.......

Okay I managed to hit eventually, all 4 torps hit but I had to wait until it was alone before I could engage it again and that took 4 hours.

Thanks for all the tips
