Reducing duds (Torp angle)

looney, 30-60 degree shots will help, but not as easy to pull off.As far as the TDC goes, you will find it is far superior to the u boat method.The position keeper is great, enter info, it updates it, unless major changes in the course, direction, AOB, you can shoot without the scope and only have to update the bearing, which you don't really have to, but it helps insure a better shot.

Example:Freighter closing , take scope observation, AOB is 40 degree starboard, enter it in to TDC, hit the red send to TDC button.Then hit the Position Keeper button, then enter a bearing and range, send it.The TDC keeps track of the changing angle.Unless angle changes drastically, you do not have put in a new angle for the solution.Although I usually do one more along with bearing/range just to insure, but it keeps track of it.This was a major advantage US subs had over other nations.

I hate shooting torpedos on manual with U boat, have to fire from attack map and constantly update the info.Fleetboats, can stay at scope and update info, esp a help when playing on 100 realism.
