Missing target

Bill Seiko · 01-25-07, 03:00 PM

Hello, I just done only my 3rd patrol and met Pyro Ammunition Freighter.
From between 400-800 yds and angle on bow 50-100, I used up all torpedoes without one hit. and it was too rough for deck gun, I must be doing something wrong but don't know what.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Set torpedo depth to 8 meters, magnetic pistol, try again..

Thanks for the advice, I just need to find out how to set depth and magnetic pistol. My 66 year old brain is getting slow

Well Bill, check the torp launch icon, TDC, and you see there a gauge with pistol above it, set to M, and left of it you can set the depth.

Also make sure you open the torpedo doors
Q on the keyboard
Torps will run about 3 secs later if not opened so have a chance to miss

Hi Bill,

lock your periscope on target --press F6, this will show you the angle at which the torpedo will hit the target (get it as close to 90 degrees as possible. ) press Q to open torpedo door -- Take aim whatever part of the ship you want to hit --Feur! Los, alles im Wasser!

Welcome aboard and good luck
