Torpedo misses

luka1002 · 08-09-10, 07:44 AM

I am having a problem. I am beginner and i use automation for measuring speed ,bearing ... When i fire the torpedoes in most cases i hit but sometimes it misses for few meters. I guess that ship that i target speed up or down after i fire a torpedoes. Am i right? Also i noticed that i do NOT have some buttons to set speed manually:

i marked them yellow.

And a few stupid questions :
I play quick missions

1.is it possible to target and shout under the water without periscope?
2.My radar is empty and sonar too. It it normal ?

Are you opening your tube doors before firing?
If you fail to do this, then when you hit the fire button, the game will open them for you, and then fire the torp.
This will result in a delay of several seconds, causing your torpedoes to hit further aft of where you are aiming.
Select each tube you are going to use, and hit Q to open. You can do this well in advance of firing, they'll stay open.
And welcome aboard

Difficult for me to tell from those small pics, but it looks like all the buttons are in the right place.

Ah OK luka1002.
Are you using Automatic Targeting?
If you are, these buttons will disappear, because the game works out the fire solution for you.

In order to use the "missing" buttons, you have to set your gameplay options to enable manual targetting. The options can be reached from the Main Menu -> Options -> Gameplay Options.
