Torpedos and TC

Captain Birdseye · 06-24-09, 10:18 AM

I'm completely new to the US subs and SH4. I'm a SH3 veteran but always used automatic solutions from my WO.

What do I need to do in SH4? I note on the torpedo data control, I can set a torpedo to be either contact, or contact influence, I imagine the latter is magnetic in terms of a U-Boat?

I notice the little white lines stop at a torp depth of 5. (Unknown Units) Can someone tell me what sort of depth i'm looking for to have a contact with the side of a merchie?
