Thanks, guys. I don't think I locked the TBT onto the target as best as I can recall. I had ran into a Dutch tugboat and decided to use them as a target in a pratice surface attack--they hate that--when I noticed the problem.

It is true, I am more used to the German way, but I am starting to like the PK.

I appreciate you help.

You don't necessarily need to lock the TBT. Any time part of your target is in the crosshairs, you can take a range fix. But, if you haven't centered the crosshairs by locking the TBT, torpedo calculations will be made against wherever it was you had your crosshairs at the time you took the fix.

:hmm: I think you do need to be locked, though, to send mast height.
