Are you meant to resend the bearing in the TDC for before EVERY torpedo shoot to update the new angles?? Because to be honest if that's the case, I won't bother!!

You shouldn't need to send the bearing or other data between torps; at most a spread should only take 30 or 40 sec., the firing data should not become stale in that space of time. You might try a few practice missions with map contacts on so you can better see what is going on. Is it possible your data was off?

The necessity to set the offset angle for each torpedo, the moment just before you launch it, is very annoying. In RL, the spread angle would already have been calculated before the first torp was launched. Having to move the little dials when you are in a hurry, and trying to time your shots, is certainly not ideal. As I recall, someone asked for this to be changed when RFB came out. Maybe someone knows how it can be fixed?

I am assuming you are using RFB. Perhaps it is different with other mods.
