Hi & what did I do wrong??

Hi Armistead,

I don't think it was going to sink. It definitely took the amount of damage I said, as I was absolutely amazed. It was only the arrival of a DD which forced me under or I'd have carried on shooting her. She was making about 8 kts with a list that put her port rail under water. By this time I'd been chasing her for about 4 hours from first impact. Pretty ridiculous to be honest.

As for the "aiming", it's exactly as Munchausen says. I'm lining up the cross hairs where I want the torp to hit, but not pressing "L". The little indicator arrow comes up, red, yellow or green as you say still, so i think I'm doing it right and it does seem, by and large, to work.

The crashing seems to occur when I try do something with TC on. It's only occurred a couple of times, once when I had TC way high, like 7k+ and hit rudder left by accident, and last nights was I think about 528TC and I hit crash dive. I didn't expect "Crash" to be taken literally! I've got a brand new Steam install, and my drivers etc should be up to date, but I will check. Don't think it is a problem, I'm ok with a game crashing so long as I know what to avoid doing to make it so!

Again, thanks for the help.

HIgh TC shouldn't crash your PC. Not sure about steam, but I assume they give you a DX9 option DL, as you need DX9 to play the game, newever versions can cause problems.

How much ram do you have?

Vista 64bit
4Gb Ram
8800 GT w 512mb Ram
Q6600

That's my specs in total. I'll check all my drivers at the weekend to make sure they're all up to date.
