Depth Settings

Captain Vlad · 07-31-07, 10:39 AM

I prefer to play with Manual Targetting turned off (what the hell am I paying my weapons officer for?). On SHIII I routinely set my torpedos to run under my targets using magnetic detonation with auto-targetting. In SH IV, I can't find the controls to do so.

Am I missing something, or does my Trig Slave Torpedo Guy insist on doing it himself? I'm hoping I can still manually set the depth if I want. I am the Captain, after all.

Its in the tdc pull out tab to the left of the screen in either periscope or uzo view.

I wish you could get to it in other screens but you cant.

Speed, depth, and offset angle can all be set there.

Now... problem is that magnetic influence pistols are... uh... unreliable (as in broke).
