A few basic questions

jgbishop · 12-09-07, 08:58 PM

I'm slowly getting better at SH4, but I still have a few basic questions that hopefully someone can help out with.

1. What good is the "Attack Map"? I don't understand what to use this for.

2. Being a beginner, I'm still using automatic targeting. When I spot a target through my periscope or binoculars, I lock on to it (using the [L] key). I note that the auto-targeting locks onto the center of the target. When I fire my torpedoes at the target, even if they are set on the high speed setting, they inevitably hit the aft section of the ship. Shouldn't they be hitting the center of the ship (since that's where the targeting system was aiming)? Or should I be offsetting them using the 'right' or 'left' settings for each torpedo (when I do that, however, they inevitably miss my target)?
