Showing torpedo trails ?

[bsmooth]

I've seen some videos where the actual torpedo trails are shown on the map as they speed towards there targets. Mine for some reason don't do that in my steam version and also in my DVD version as well.
is there something I need to switch on in order for this to be seen?
I would like to know as I like to see If my torpedoes are on line and also as a training to make me get better at it.

If you mean the line of predicted torpedo travel, it is visible in the Attack Map view.

Or if you mean of being able to watch your torps as they speed on their way to the targets... again, same map.. the attack map.

Though, is you're submerged.. won't see the targets but their sonar lines pointing to where the center of them, should be located... that is...

Yes I didn't even know there was an attack map, so thanks for pointing that out.
Still can't figure out how I missed 3 battleships in a row, plus 2 heavy cruisers.
Everything looked good and then I had to dive to avoid the destroyer screen and I managed to miss all of them. Did manage to sink one of the destroyers, who I think blundered into one of the fish meant for the battleships.

The Attack Map is your friend... shoot, and then look at it, for that just-in-case scenario of a circle-runner...

You could also use it, pre-shot, to verify the targeting solution...

On that tid bit.. I do use it.. prior to sending the fishies on their merry way.. I know.. I know.. not historic, but.. it's there.. & I use it.. just not all the time.. only when I got some really big game in my sights. (such as that task force I happened to make report on in the FotRS thread to ya, propbeanie... )

Have yet to have run into any circle runners... YET.. being the operative word here.. Those keep Me up at night wondering, is this the fish I send off that does Me in, My own weapons... (when I am in the game... ) Not really.. but, My weird twisted sense of humor showing up...
