I have trouble when the TDC is on. No matter what I do the torpedo's always seem to run aft of my target. Instead I've been using the connect the dots method. Close in shooting is relatively easy with this method. Long range however is not very easy.

If you do the connect the dots method just remember, the numbered dot from the ship's path, must overlap the numbered dot on your torpedo path.

IE if you're mid range and both the dots saying #2 are directly over each other = fire.

As you use it you kind of learn how to lead and what the run times are of the torpedo so you don't necessarily have to be directly on the dot so to speak.

Had a Destroyer doing his best to sink me last night and I couldn't get a proper angle on him. He was always just outside the #2 but inside #3. Kind of halved the distance between them with the firing line and let one go, just barely caught him in the nose lol
