Default Back with a problem!

Captainchaos returns to the game

But, determined to manual shoot i`m having trouble straightening out shots..

For example, i came across a stopped ship & set myself up at 90 deg, plumbed in AOB for 90, 0 speed, full range.. yet at the attack screen my torpedoes want to veer off somewhere

How do i straighten them out without having to turn my sub

Simple explanation would be very much appreciated.

Kind regards in advance.

You either entered a wrong bearing somehow or selected wrong tubes.

Probably ...

Clearly a case of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle at work.

Click the "send range/bearing to TDC" button twice. That should straighten out the torps' run path.

Thankyou

I was abit amazed at how i could possibly cockup a kill served on a plate.

"double clicking" fixed things.

Trust me! It can be done!

I'm stopped! A large modern tanker is 800 yds away stopped! Crosshairs cutting the ship in half! Calm water. Daylight. And two bow torps miss; both swinging wide right!
