Cool you get it sorted

Those 2 first destroyers were good to sink, because you’ll see as time goes on, it’s gonna be an other story...
As yourself, i sat down watching the great Luftwaffe job. I regret now i didn’t try to get some war ship easy tonnage

Almost in 41 now, i fear them and sail away most of time...

Things are moving along. I finished last night my second patrol of the first campaign (Coastal Waters). Lots of duds (I might have to stop shooting from 90 degrees and see if that helps) and some misses.

I had 3 torps left and was heading back towards base when at night, I stumbled upon a decent convoy, moving fast at 12 knots and either unescorted or scort was on the opposite side. I was able to lock and follow target (space bar and x) with the UZO. As I approached the convoy, I dived for a periscope attack since maybe some were armed merchants and didn't want to risk it. I could see the ships with the attack scope, but could not lock them or follow them

. The ships looked like shadows... it was weird and kinda halloweenish hahah! I got frustrated since I couldn't lock the targets to get the data... so I just fired by estimation and 2 missed but 1 hit a large ship for 10k tons. Not too bad.

Has anyone experienced the issue of not being able to lock the target? It was night and maybe some fog and the darned periscopes would not lock.. (the UZO did).

Yes Javigato, it’s normal you can’t lock even if you can see them.
Often with fog...
Just be patient or try to close more

How close? Because I aint great at estimating ranges visually, but they were no more than 800 feet in front of me

Did you mark your target with "space bar" key?

Modlist?

Also, in game's terms , this has no sense at all, because if your visual sensors do not detect the target, it is quite irrelevant which optics you use...

I meant 800 meters not feet

Mods I have only installed TWOS and then enabled a couple of the optional ones.

It really didn't make any sense that I could lock (spacebar) them with the UZO but not with the periscope

Maybe because periscope is X6 and UZO bigger? Don’t remember the UZO magnifying though
