A few basic questions

If you fail to open your torpedo tube doors your torps will always hit behind. Always manually open each door prior to firing. That's your problem I bet.

How do you manually open the tube doors?

I'm pretty sure you press the [Q] key to open the torpedo bay doors (for the selected tube).

Can I open multiple tubes at a time? For example, if I open tube 1, switch to tube 2, and then open tube 2, will tube 1 still be open?

nope. you could in SH3, but not here. also, you should wait a few seconds after you open the torpedo door to allow the torp to flood or you will have a delay. Fire one!!!

on your second torpedo shot, if you shoot two or three fish at a time, cycle to the next door using the "W" key, then open the door "Q" just as quick, set depth and spread settings, (that gives time for the torpedo to flood) Fire!!!

In the books ive read, they always spread thier shots by 10 seconds. in game after the first shot and adjusting setting for the next fish, i am counting to ten in my head, then i know the torp is flooded and will hit its mark.

Rinse and Repeat.

Hope this helps.

The attack map shows the estimated time of impact at the end of the green line. good for when you play with external camera off.

BTW, where in North Carolina do you live. I live in Greensboro NC.

Actually, you can open multiple tubes at once as jgbishop described. It used to be broken but was fixed in one of the earlier patches.

To open the forward torpedo doors just use the Q key and W to move to next torp tube for the stern use Q to open and Y to switch tubes.
Q also closes the tube... just check the command dialog and you'll see Tube 1 opening or closing etc..

If in doubt you could if you have the external camera operating pop outside and look at the front end and you'll see the doors opening and closing

always make sure you open torpedo tube doors before comencing the attack and remember to close the doors on torps you didnt use after an attack, fired torps automatically close the torp door for reloading.
