Manual TDC with FaT / LuT?

I haven't figured it out yet.

I can click all the settings so the torpedo will do its thing, but I can never get a hit.

One of the things you can pick for a FaT is run _time_ (not distance?!), so you have to, I guess, calculate the distance based on the runtime before a FaT starts its pattern.

How do you do that, exactly?

I'd like to be able to fire one at a ship with a runtime that'll clear it if I miss, then begin its pattern.

With IC there should be plenty of targets to hit.

Ideally I'd like to get a range, then fire four into a convoy without any solid targets just to see what happens.

Anyone ever fire a bunch of FaT Is or IIs into a convoy and just score random hits?
