Torps running wide, any ideas?

Hi All,

Just need to pick the collective brain to see if what Im experiencing is something with an easy fix that Im missing, or actually a bug somewhere along the line.

Running 1.5 with PE3.3, RFB1.5 and RSRD on top.

The only change I've made is to undo RFB's hardwired difficulty settings - Im a casual gamer at the moment and just dont have time to do full manual targeting.

The game was playing great for a while, sank myself a heavy cruiser but ran out of time before I could end around for the other one, so saved the game . Returning to the game the next day, upon maneuvering into ideal attack positions, I'm finding that torps, all of them, are running about 30-40 degrees port of where they should be going.

Yep, the Position keeper is turned off, spread angle is at 0, yet no matter whether I use forward or aft tubes, the torps pick a track that is way off.

I thought they might have been actually running the mirror image of the correct track, so tested by maneuvering to 180 of the cruiser and firing a zero gyro angle straight to his stern, but nope, off go the torps at aprox 330.

Ive tried using the spread angle, the torps respond correctly to that, but bassed on their erroneous base track.

Has anyone come accross this before or knows of a fix? I have spent quite a while forum trawling but no luck, so if anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be very much apreciated.

Except by the crew on that second cruiser perhaps...

Cheers
