Make sure you have selected manual targeting in the game options.

1. Aim at ship.
2. Press space bar to lock.
3. Press space bar to unlock.
4. Select turn tdc off (in xo box)
5. Press space to lock.
6. press space bar to unlock.
7. Aim at any part of ship and fire.

Aim at ship

Press the space bar to lock

Press space bar again to unlock

Select turn tdc off

you should also learn the fast 90 attack
it is easy and very good for when you get ahead of the convoy and can sit and wait for them.

All you need are these two mods
TDWs UI

thanks everyone for the response now the torpedo's must work after some practise

Now only thing i don't get yet is why the deckgun gunners stay idle when there is a target i suspect the AAA guners is idle aswell. I can remember there were commands you could give them but i not see them anymore.

I noticed something else in all the screenshots you guys have meters and buttons then i have i have nothing but a big black next to to the periscpe with just a very small button for foring the torpedo and choose torp. 1,2,3,4 and 5 that's all. can i use another UI for that or doesn't that work with Open Horizons II ?

ps my apologize for all the questions.

I have a question about open horizon v2 in the very first mission Baltic Operations Its says in the changelog "All campaign objectives remade to remove focus on tonnage - now focus is on patrols"

However after sinking two Polish frieghter the objective is complete to go home but the progress bar shows only half done as if i have to sink to more ships. I should'nt have to sink any thing at all if i patrolled my designated areas. Will it be complete when the due date arrives Nov 1 1939 or sail back to base and end patrol. If i do sink anything dose the old tonnage and number rules apply or is this an error?

This is the first time in six months I have completed a patrol and ready to head home.

I use sober's mode list

You can give orders to your officers to man the guns etc and then give them fire control orders (fire at waterline etc)

This is within the UI mod I use (TDWs UI)

Ok - here you are seeing the two stage missions.
The main one is to patrol the Baltic and within that there is a smaller mission to patrol an area (orange icon). You did manage to patrol the icon and that is finished but the bar is only half full as you have more patrolling to do in the Batltic.

So - if you have torps left - keep looking for those Polish ships. Otherwise head back to Kiel for more supplies and the head back to the Baltic.

Where an objective is to patrol an area - just keep going there, attack ships, resupply and repeat
