The mod with Siemens writing is called 'Dials by Briklebritt'.

You can download it here.

Thank you, helped out alot, and made me understand the term "lining up the dots" lol.

Just for my curiosity: is this a bug or it was intended?

Great tutorial anyway! I've always hated the "numbers"...

Awesome!
This tutorial helped me really much!
I'd suggest that you sticky this thread, as i think it will help all newcomers who use Auto TDC!

I had problems with hitting targets too, until I found this thread. However, now that I'm on the mission where I have to sink 5 AMC ships and I have 4 Type II torpedo's loaded, and it doesn't matter what I do they keep missing using this method...

Does this method only work for the Type I torpedo's?

Edit: Nevermind, read on the first page about torpedo speed affected by torpedo officer upgrade. Will try the mod given

This tutorial helped me immensely, I went from missing every darn ship to now hitting almost everytime. One merchant got away from me tonight even after hitting him with one torpedo. I ran out of forward torps so I got within about 2k meters and spun the boat around and shot two rear torps at him, one hit, but then he hit the throttle hitting 20 knots, I chased him for over an hour with him on fire but he never went down and my gunners suck azz and missed more than they hit him. LOL

Yesterday I reverted back to SH4 and played just so I could torpedo some ships, then I found this thread and what a difference it made. Thank you very much.

There is a mod that that removes the 1 2 3 torpedo alignment. Enjoy no more 1-2-3 circles in the torpedo track.... by Nemesis43.

Found here.... http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1691 D

If you're not using any of TDW's great mods, may I suggest you get this one for the spread angle... F_cherschusswinkel - SalvoSpreadAngle_Obelix_edition You might want to fire multipul torpedos someday.

Sorry but I can't find the link right now. Not sure but I think CSP Magui 3.01 now has it included.

Hi Captains, sorry to drag this old thread up from DJ's locker, but has this method slightly changed with the upto date mods etc?

It says "Make sure Auto TDC is off" but when I do this the Torp Solution line defaults back to straight ahead rather that leading the target.

It seems to work just fine leaving Auto TDC on all the time, then just simply Lock and then Break Lock, and the solution auto leads it, place crosshair then shoot.

Hi guys
I made theis pictorial a while back which explains most of the things you need to know.
Post #146 Auto TDC Targeting Without Using 3 Circles > Updated Pictorial

As sson as you lock the target the TDC automatically makes the first calculation.
Unlocking the TDC the TDC recalculates again predicting where the target will be when the torpedoes hit.
