Recently Reinstalled SH5 Now I have Questions

Leon West · 07-21-14, 07:12 PM

So, I installed SH4 awhile back as I was hoping to get going on a really good American career, and so I did. Had some good fun, but then I realized I was itching to get back into some Atlantic action, so I went over and installed SH5 and the awesome Wolves of Steel Megamod pack...but here's the issue for me...

I am in no way good at math. Completely utterly, hopelessly bad and useless at math. As embarrassing as it is to admit, I will admit it. I almost have to count on my fingers simple addition and subtraction. Multiplication and division...let's not even go into that.

So manual targeting, numbers, angles on bow, some guys get it and tell me it's simple. That's great. But after countless hours of reading every single printed tutorial on manual targeting on the different generations of the SH series, I'm just happy with auto targeting. I basically said, forget it, when it comes to manual targeting. If I was a real sub captain, maybe it would be different...but honestly, I'd just as soon tell my Weapons Officer to figure it out. My concern is maneuvering the ship and keeping everyone alive. Not hitting targets.

Anyways, so near as I can tell Auto targeting has been removed from the Wolves of Steel mod to increase realism. But for guys like me (as few as there is

) who still enjoy auto targeting, is there a way to use it?

I have manual targeting shut off in my game options, and when I press spacebar my scope will lock targets and I will get the triangle, but whenever I fire a torp, it will miss. I can't seem to get the minimap in the scope to line up the numbers as was vanilla SH5's way of auto targeting so I'm a bit confused. I thought at first that since the minimap and it's aiming system was gone, maybe it had gone back to SH4's style of auto targeting which is based on the triangle color. Four torps fired at a green triangle all missed. No solution.

So, guys, any help on this? Am I completely screwed, or can I get back my auto targeting abilities?

Thanks in advance
