Something not quite clicking...help please?

After 15 or so reload/try/fail cycles, I have it worked out.

I was wondering why when I would send AoB to the TDC the relative ship orientation looked really screwy, but I just categorized it under "quirk" and kept plugging away.

Bad idea.

Sending range/bearing data twice or three times, as a couple of you mentioned, was the key. A quick look on the attack map would have shown me this much earlier, but I can be a bit wooden-headed at times.

Both things I overlooked in the tutorials.

Still, it was quite gratifying to see all 4 torpedoes hit the target in rapid succession, finally.

Thanks for all the support, folks, and yes, I will be checking out the Skipper's bag o' tricks.

P.S. Throughout the 15 or so retries, I had torpedoes going every which a way. It was kinda humorous, as I was thinking "Okay let's see what happens now... sheesh, if I wanted to shoot the torpedoes behind me I would have used the stern tubes..."
