I find that if I have a slight miscalculation with the TDC, I end up missing the ship, so I started aiming more towards the bow section and normally hit amidships.. or if I'm lucky.. the bow.

However, the only time I can actually hit the areas mentioned in my post is when I use auto-aim .. So much for realisim

Just a thought. Did you remember to open the tube doors and flood the tubes before pressing fire ? Forgetting that will make you miss aft nearly every time.

Hey,

Normally SteamWake, on an ambush I will, but often times in the heat of battle, I often forget to open the tubes as im settings my bearings ..

P.S: Probably spealt Embarassement wrong.. Really I do have horrible spelling.

Most of the time, the shots do not have to be directly under the keel, however beneficial the keel shot is, hitting close enough to the bottom of the ship is feasible, and often results in the same effect as a shot under the keel.

With Regards,

I tend to keep my fish closer to the surface as I've read somewhere there's a 10 feet margin or so in torpedo depth after firing. (Historically correct? I don't know)

Yes early Mk. 14's ran about 10ft too deep. not really modeled in the game to well
