Quote:

Daspit recorded about the sixth one since Tonan Maru had become a "sitting duck", "... Hit. No apparent effect. This torpedo hit well aft on the port side, made splash at the side of the ship and was then observed to have taken a right turn and to jump clear of the water about 100 feet (30 m) from the stern of the tanker. I find it hard to convince myself that I saw this."

LMAO, I can only imagine how it was telling someone about this.

He told Admiral Lockwood:

Quote:

When he arrived in my office, Dan [Daspit] was the nearest to being boiling mad I have ever seen him. I expected a torrent of cuss words, damning me, the Bureau of Ordnance, the Newport Torpedo Station and the Base Torpedo Shop, and I couldn't have blamed him - 19,000-ton targets don't grow on bushes. I think Dan was so furious as to be practically speechless. His tale was almost unbelievable, but the evidence was undeniable.

spotted by crew but can't be seen through binoculars nor TBT ????

visible on screen 20 ' later... dive dive dive !

didn't know you had to click on GSP to get the range etc... what does it stand for ?

how do you turn off manual targeting ? thought I did that in the main menu before I started the campaign, but now even with the GSP enabled, my shots all went to the starboard side when the enemy ship was to port !!!!

GyroSPindles. Basically, it's saying that the TDC is feeding the torpedoes with firing solution data.
