There is a known bug in Sh3 that forgets to tell the TDC to update the lead angle for the current selected torpedo when you have previously selected a torpedo with different speed setting. So if you selected a Type1 at fast, then select a type2 (that can only go slow) the TDC still thinks the type 2 should be aimed as if it was fast. Therefore, allways select the propper speed setting before you fire (for any kind of torpedo) to be sure, if you ever select different torpedo speeds. Maybe that is what happend.

Thanks GR...that's probably my error, to far away...as for my targeting solution...it's auto configuration...I always try to do manuel, but have never mastered or been able to sink a ship using manuel. Usually I try to keep it realistic though, firing at no where past 70 or 110 degrees. or 20 degrees past 90. usually though Im at 90. are the steam torps the only torps that can be used for Medium and fast speeds?

Yeah they're the only ones that can change speed. Remember that your early war TIIs will malfunction like nobody's business

A good rule of thumb is to set all TIIs to run at 1 meter. Any lower and they might just bounce off the curved area of the hull.
