Firing a torpedo successfully

Thanks Kevinsue. Just one problem, how do I change the value from true to false? Will it affect a current campaign or do I have to start a new one for it to take effect?

EDIT: I have just found out how to change the values, double click on it and a dialogue box appears enabling you to change the value.

Right I have done the editing in OFEV as shown but alas it hasn't helped. I lined up on a tanker, switched on TWO by hitting space and the clicking on 1/turn on tmo. After that I brought up the torpedo man with it's menus and selected select target find solution and fire. The torpedo did not track the tanker. In SH3 we could do it this way so is it possible in WOS SH5?

Sure it is possible and I told you how but it seem that you're ignoring my post from some reason...
If you have installed all as you should, you should only uncheck appropriate option in game settings, enter the mission, point the periscope and shoot...

Messing up with OFEV is not necessary. Cheers...

VDR1981 Are you sure that this is the case even when running the mod WOS and not just in the stock game? I have a feeling that the mod over rides the options.

Of course mate. I also use auto TDC when I wish to test damage models for some units. It works just OK with previously described procedure...

Ok thanks vdr1981 I'll have another bash at it tomorrow. I have just discovered the toggle switch for auto or manual so that was probably the problem. Leave off playing this game for a couple of years and it all gets forgotten at least in my case.
