I can't hit the back of a barn.

Okay... merchants are one thing but geese, I decided to take it to the Nips.

I stood off and waited to see if I can find the Midway Japanese task force. Found it. Managed to sneak in close enough to get the speed from tender as an escort then was able to pull off a snap shot on a Kongo Battleship. Sank that guy' ass with 4 torpedoes and hauled out of there.

Now... On the way back to Midway to reload I encountered the task force on the way home. I managed to get a decent, well distant-medium range shot at an escort carrier. Here she is as big as... well... an AIRCRAFT CARRIER and I set up the attack.

She does not appear as if she's zigging like the rest of the task force and appears to be on a steady course. She's off the bow about 30 degrees moving to the left. I'm guessing the speed to be about 9 knots. Yamato is off to my port side, closer than the carrier but she's zigging like crazy. I'm not wasting my 4 torperoes on him. Believe me I've tried.

I lock in the carrier. I set the angle on his bow to be about 276 degrees. I take the range carefully but his flag is quite easliy seen. I make 3 ranges. I really am squinting... I WANT this fatt ass on the bottom.

I enter the speed in. I have my weapon settings ready. Medium speed contact only.

First shot set to zero off. Second 3 to the left. Third 2 degrees to the right. Fourth set to 1 degree to the left.


I shoot and turn the scope to the left to check their wakes. Ummm..... not turning slightly to the right at all. Bastards just swim to the visible horizon and disappear.

I think it's a fluke. I try it again... and again... and again... Nothing. I try switching to slower speed on the torps hoping that at higher speed I lost range. Nothing.

I mean, I tried this for an hour and a half.
Anyone ever hd this problem? You PC doesn't see that you have entered speed into firing solution?

What am I doing wrong here? I'm not a noob at this. I'm running with Trigger Maru but I'm sure that it's not affectig my torps or is it?
