Woah... :hmm:

Im guessing he never broke the 'lock' from the previous target or the periscope was below water surface breaking lock.

Or firing from 10,000 yards out.

In a nutshell auto TDC does work. Almost too well. If you know all the 'tricks'.

can you read al my post before answer? i say that i complete the sh3 career two time and i know very very well that you cant fire a torpedo to a ship more than 5000 meters becouse can fail, and when the tdc fails it dosen`t mather whow afar is the craft and i have tested the tdc on fine water on day calm sea and sunny and fails too.
And i never broke the lock for a previos ship becouse after you have destroy that ship it automatic broke the lock even when the tdc dosen`t work in automatic mode, so for post here play the game first

All you have to do is tap your space bar that will break the 'lock'.

Ill leave it at that.

Just noticed,this happened to us last nite,35th career patrol, "Once", Small Gun Boat,At 20 degrees Stb.,2,500 yds heading 200 degrees,slow. Our heading 280,At PD,no could lock in scope,no sonar indication,but I can see it ! Radar indicates correctly she is there.must be new NIP cloaking devise,you can't be stealthy enough,SHIV is going to kill your ass,:rotfl: The AI is at war with US.

Did you have the stern tubes selected while the target was off your bow ?

NO! Steamy,What difference would that make to sonar indication ?

None but if you can see it in your periscope you should be able to 'lock' it (in full auto).

There are a plethroa of reasons it may not get picked up by sonar. ...

The target is quiet, covered up by surface noise, or your sound man is a slacker.

Well, I don't see why that would make a difference. Even if you have the opposite side tubes selected you can still lock on the ship, you just get a red arrow instead the the orange/yellow/green.

1. I don't see why having open or closed torpedo doors would have any affect on locking onto a ship, as I've locked onto ships with them both open and closed before.
2. Yes, I am certain my realism settings were set for career mode. I often tweak them to play around with different settings, but the one setting I never ever touch is the auto-target. And, it's not like it happens for a whole patrol or something, it only happens sporadically, in the middle of patrols it has been working fine in before. I'd say it happens maybe once every other patrol.

yeah its true that,but is a really nasty bug anyway, becouse i am in a patrol that i have an merchant convoy weakle defended and the tdc dosent work? and i can lock on a ship with the presicope but the triangule dosent appear for me
