Default Periscope lock

Hi there!
Well I finally got the game to work (no mods unfortunately..)
Now my biggest grips with the game are the AOB not being clear in what part is the front of the ship and which part is the back (other then port and starboard which is no help for me..)

The second (the biggest) is that when I make a lock it doesn't follow the target.. Why?

the "follow target" option is something TDW implemented in his NewUI. It is not in stock game.

If you are using NewUI, after you lock the target, you need to go to your Gunner > Select Follow Target (or if you using speach recognition - command to follow selected target).

In regards to the AOBs etc calculations: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=181538
tutorials ftw!
