Set it up as follows:-

Aim your scope at the ship (line of sight)
click the TDC button to green for inputting data
Enter range (line of sight - where target is now)
enter AOB (where target is now)
enter speed - as target is now
click the TDC input button back off (red)

Now the TDC knows everything
You can follow the target with your scope and the TDC will update auto (the only thing that will not update is range) - so if you choose to keep the target in your scope for a long while and follow it - enter range again before you fire.

Now when you fire the TDC will tell the topr where to go. It works out how far - what direction and how long it will take to ensure that the torp and the ship are at the same spot at the same time (hit)

So using the TDC - always aim at the ship and enter the data as the ship is as you look at it

You are amazing my friend, this si why i love this community, you guys are are so helpful!!

So when do i fire? Am i waiting for a certain gyroangle, or can i fire whenever, so long as its after i input the data obviously?in a 90 degree attack, i fire when gyro angle reaches zero, is it the same here, or do i fire whenever?
