TDC Seems to be Off

I run the Sim at Normal setting and do not have the Manual targetting highlighted. Once the cross hairs are on the target then once locked, you still have to make sure that the TDC is aligned to that target hence, I still have to press the red button on the TDC to ensure that that target is put in.

No probs so far in hitting the target. This means it's not fully automatic. There is still some manual element that needs to be done for a sucessful attack.

As for manual selected targetting, unless the proper sequence is followed, ie, Distance, Bearing, AOB, estimated speed then feeding the info into the TDC to obtain a proper firing solution, it's guaranteed that the torps will miss. A salvo of torps at different spread settings is the way to go. Now hopefully one of the new options in the patch will be the ability to select multiple tubes so that firing a spread is easier to do.
