Torpedo Firing

hey guys, so i've got back to SH4. Got RSRD installed along with TM Overhaul for 1.4.

I got some questions though and would like to hear from you. I've been doing the torpedo training mission to reaquaint myself the finer points of manual firing after being in a U-boat for so long

I'm getting my torpedos to hit, but they're all hitting the same spot, despite me firing at different aiming points down the length of a target in the periscope view. How can I get the torps to hit different parts of a target, as my periscope aiming doesn't seem to be working. Also, i've been putting on the Position Keeper AFTER I gather my target data and input it into the TDC, is this the right way to use the PK? As I can't remember

lol

Another thing, has anyone encountered any bugs with any of the mods? Its probably nothing to do with the mods but some of the torpedos in the training mission have seriously been acting up. In some cases, despite me making NO changes at ALL to torpedo depth, i've had some torpedos in a salvo run deeper than their comrades in the same salvo if you get my meaning. Ie, i fire 4 torpedoes. Torpedo 1 runs deep and under the target, the other 3 torps all run normal at the same depth and hit....and this is when i've made NO changes to torpedo depth.

Another thing is, i've had a couple of torpedos get fired, and then just go round and round and round in circles and then detonate. Another time I fired I had one torpedo go right round and head back towards my sub before detonating prematurly.

Any advice on the torp shooting query above, and anyone else encoutnered some of these bugs?

Cheers guys
