Is that the most arcade automatic method of targeting? That's darn confusing. Can the arcade-auto method shoot anything other than a 000 gyro shot?

I'm glad I use manual targeting because there's no way I could figure out that Lotto ball Teletuby stuff.

Yes aslong as the numbers match you will hit the target at any angle. The problem is that I don't know if the devs programed in the torpedo problems of the germans. In the real war if the torpedos hit at anything other then straight on they would not detonate.

So I always set up on a 90 Degree angle to make sure the torpedo actually hits straight on. Its the way we were taught in SHIII and its the way I have been doing it since then.

BUt as long as the numbers connect. They go boom.

Sweet, major thanks for the video! I just made my first attack and my shots went straight ahead and behind by the time they reached the merchant. I was fuming because I expected it to be like SH3&4 so I came looking for a solution and found your excellent video.

And about that merchant, they're on the bottom courtesy of my deck gun.

In Auto TDC yes. You can still do manual TDC if you so wish.
