Default Cant hit the broad side of a barn!!

Sorry for posting it here as i know there is a thread on TDC, but i cant work it out. It gets very frustrating spending all that time at sea, sneaking up on a convoy, and then missing with every shot What are the 123 numbers and how do i line them up? Isnt there an auto like sh3? Im getting really *&%^^$% off missing all the time.

Cheers

Hey there...im not to good at explaining...buttt...I don't use TDC...You line the numbers up by 1 on 1, 2 on 2, 3 on 3...or very close to that, kinda depending where you want to hit the target

I think i figured out my problem, I think i was too far away to get the numbers to line up.

The numbers correspond to positions from your torpedo's projected path and also the target.

So all you have to do is get your sub into postion and wait until (for example) the 3 from your torp path overlaps the 3 from the target path, then fire (allowing for the lag in torp doors to open).

If you want to use the TDC you are best off loading one of the UI mods.

The problem Capt. is you shouldn't be hunting Barns in the middle of the Atlantic,Try shooting your Fish at those other big things bellowing smoke and flying The Union Jack.
Good Day!

Yep those other 'big things' are much bigger than barns. And make a "Big Badda Boom" too.
