"Fast 90" is when you set yourself up at a perfect 90 degree angle, around 800m from the path of travel of your target. Depending on it's speed you'll fire around 10-20 degrees before they reach 0 (depending on their direction of travel).

What's nice about this is three things. 1) range doesn't matter, it's all angles so range cancels out 2) you preset everything in your TDC and don't touch it. Set Range to 800, set AOB to 90, set speed to whatever they are moving at then 3) watch the Gyroangle. It'll read 000 when your periscope is pointing at the proper bearing so that whatever it's pointing at will be hit by the time that part hits 000 bearing from your ship. The torpedo simply swims in a straight line.

I'd posted a picture of this kind of attack in the screenshot thread.

Its so easy in auto mode.

Dont get blinded of thos 1,2 .3 dots you se. They are ther just as a reference.

Se the lines as a measurement instead.

Imagine the lines as a measurment tape whit out the dots and numbers.

When the ships line cross yours at same point, let say 2,5 inces or, 2,5 cm (what you prefer), fire the torps.

Iol guess we soon will se a mod that converts thos 1,2,3 dot line to a measurement tape

You cand use this method for any range of attack too. The range seting isn't realy all that important, as long as you are within a few hundred meters of the actual distance to the target you are good to go. Using this method you can easyly hit targets from 2km, you could even go from maximum range of the torpidos with this if you wanted, though closer is obviously easyer.

Don't feel bad. Juat had a target at 800 meters and all four are a dud and the ship turns on a ****ing dime and rams me destroying my sub. Honestly I thought I'd be happy with twos but I'm thinking of just shelving this game after that.

Upon this happening I chucked my mouse down and I guess I broke it. So deffently no more sh5 for me. Go figure. Go out of my way to try and get this game to run and it's been a constant **** show. Maybe I should of took it as a sign not to play this game wit how diffuclt it was to even get it running.

Don't get me wrong, but I think that you should, definitely...Simulations by the definition require some patience which is clearly missing here. There is a perfectly logical reason why you wasted all of your torpedoes but I won't bother to explain you because it would be quite pointless in this case. Maybe you should stick with World of War****s...

Sorry about your mouse though...

Duds... that's the logic. And my patience was gone at that point.. had a rather **** day that day before hand. But nice way to cover the salt with a remark about my mouse.
