Default Need fast help

I have a big freighter in front of me 350 M - to close for torp.

Have shot at her four times at point blank. With Deck
and AA gun. I Get gun sound but I am shooting blanks.
I believe she is Empress but she is all white, no detail.
At 1000 m she was grey and I could see cargo.



Help I need tonnage.

Since it seems she's undefended, why not back off to torpedo range and try a shot? Or is she moving too erratically?

I might do that but I am more concerned about shooting
blanks and why she has no detail (solid white) at close range.

Yesterday I was also fireing blanks at a tramp steamer. I
know from my own shooting that I don't miss very often.

Try setting torpedo speed to slow?
