Multi ship targeting

ddiplock · 07-06-08, 03:06 PM

Is it possible for multi-ship targeting of ships like in SH3? I came across two Japanese ships sailing together, identified both and manually input the targeting solution. Launched 3 torpedos at the front ship, locked onto the rear ship and fired my 4th torpedo....however the 4th torpedo headed for the ship at the front instead and hit.

In SH3, the 4th torpedo would've gone for the rear ship because that's what my scope was locked onto.

Can anyone explain this please?

Cheers guys

yes and no.

theres no salvo shot switch that said its in how you approach it.

in your specific case you needed to turn off the pk and update all your
target data for the second target including ship ID and then the
torp would go to the right ship.

in my case I as often as not target one ship and shoot on two or three
using the offset dial.

theres a myriad of ways to shoot.

Honestly I wouldnt trade the PK for a salvo button.
the button pushing I can do but the Position Keeper
is a total advancement in the function of a tdc.

That's alright if you can get the re-targetting to work. It doesn't for me at all and I'm using the auto function.

You have to refresh the ship ID from the book for ship number two.
