Fog and Target Locking

WernherVonTrapp · 01-12-11, 07:11 AM

I actually sank my first ship using auto-targeting in zero visibility (w/o locking on). Your torp will travel straight if fired w/o a lock. As long as the target is broadside and, as you said, within 1000yds, you should have little difficulty in hitting it if it's stationary. If you lock on using sonar, (i.e., send the data to the TDC), the torp will travel the route of the last sonar lock. If you (experiment) adjust the offset angle ahead of the ship, you should (eventually) be able to take out a close merchant on an angle too.
