Cant Hit Anything with Manual TDC?

Erika_Itsumi · 10-28-14, 10:22 PM

I've recently gotten into the Silent Hunter Series, so I should be considered a noob. I know for a fact that there's no way in Hades I could ever hit a thing with that stupid auto TDC Crap where you line up the numbers, so I've been trying manual. I still can't manage to hit a thing.

I watched a few tutorials and I've been doing the following:

1. Identifying the ship
2. Finding the range by using the ruler on the map (the default instrument which it tells you to use doesn't seem to work for me)
3. Finding the angle on bow by using protractor on map

I'm using the default torpedos; in all of my attempts of sinking merchant ships, I've always come close to hitting them, but it misses. Should I abort the patrol and refit with the other torpedos which are hard to spot, in case it's just due to the ships spotting the torps and then zigzagging?

Help would be appreciated
