Default OK I need help (please)

Ok

I have 1.4 and have installed LWaMI mod. (have I missed any other essential mods to go with this??

So I go and try to get used to the game.

Cutting the long story short,

I remember having show truth on and watching how deadly the torps were at tracking in sub command.

So with this mod installed I go back to having a quick look at how deadly they are now.

I have game on hhow truth and select a enemy sub and launch torps but they just seem to sail straight bye and do not aquire the target well at all.

Is this a setting e.g. using show truth misses something out such as proper tracking etc.

I am at short ranges etc,

Just a point in the right direction would be really appreciated.

All I want to do is spend some time on this game and practice modern sub warfare for a bit (no other decnt games out there at the moment)

Maybe I am just missing a procedure?????

Thanks in advance

Just standard 48 from seawolf.

I am selecting the sub then right clicking and then engage with.

I know this is cheating but I just wanted to observe some bahavious to see how different it is compared with sub command.

Is it essential to set the torps even with show truth on

If I had to hazard a guess I'd say the presets generated by the AC are bad ... maybe the torp enables to late. Does it drive in a straight line or does it start sneaking before he passes by the other sub?

Just a straight line however even the passive settings should steer the torp as the sub makes dashes yet they do not ????????

I suppose I could try to tweak some torp presets but never had to do this when using the magic show truth and fire in sub command. Thats why I was asking (to see if this was just made more difficult)

I'm thinking that it sounds like your torpedo isn't enableing fast enough to catch the target. I'd say either try fireing from a farther distance away or setting the torpedo enable to a shorter distance. Also.. if you're selecting "Engage target with [weapon]" by clicking on the target on the map, that doesn't mean that you will actually fire accurately at him. Your TMA guy will still use whatever best calculations he has depending on the information coming to him from SONAR and other sources.
To test this, properly, you have to put the calculations yourself. Show Truth is only showing YOU the truth, not your crew.
