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?

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).

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

A couple of weeks into my 3rd patrol, so far the only sightings have been a couple of neutrals, an armed merchant cruiser (my torpedo was a dud and just let it go) and 2 ship convoy, 1 torp per ship and both down for a whooping 4k tons. Pretty pathetic, I think BDu is gonna sack me

Where are the large convoys in the western approaches?! BDus contact reports from the captains log are useless (too far away), nothing from my radio man as far as contacts... Its middle of november 1939, cruising around AM51 like for a week and nothing... How frustrating it must have been for the real ones... Where are they?!
