HI OC
The New Career 'Easy' setting automatically gives you Auto TDC.
When TDW's Option File Editor Viewer application is installed it is important to open the XO Tab to make sure that Manual Targeting is Not Enabled.
Settings in the NAV and TAI map Tabs can be customized so you see these settings each time your game is loaded.
The button on the and the button on the TAI map in game will allow you to make further changes just for the gaming session you are in.
Game Play Setting can be changed to suit your game play when in the bunker before making the required manual game save prior to starting the next mission.

Locking the target.
Unlocking the target
Fire the torpedo.
Works whether 3 circles is used or not as Auto TDC adjusts the gyro angles automatically.

Ahoy there skipper! I want the easy way for a very good reason my friend ..you may not understand right now ..but with time you may.

For personal reasons, I want to "get away" from real life when I play this game ..not simulate it! For a while anyway!

Hi CD
Tube doors must be opened with the switches in the up position ready to fire.

Set Torpedo Depths for both Targets 2 and 1.
Target 2 Torpedo speed Fast.
Target 1 Torpedo speed Fast,

Check Torpedo 2 is Fast on Target 2.
Lock Target 2 with the Space Bar.
Unlock the Target.
Press the Fire Button Torpedo 2 on Target 2.

Check Torpedo 1 is on Fast on Target 1.
Check the TAI map as how far Torpedo 2 is to Target 2
Lock Target 1 with the Space Bar.
Unlock the Target.
Press the Fire Button Torpedo 1 on Target 1.

The idea is to try and create simultaneous hits.

If the Tube Door switches are not open (Up position) when you press the Fire Button you will miss the target which seems to be what has happened in your picture?

Peter

I am now at see with a merchant ship target. First thing is it is firing at me!!!! thought these were "Happy Times"?? How the heck does one AIM the perishing deck-gun here?? In SH4 I am sure the hands fire the gun on their own by default! This doesn't happen here on SH5! They just hang on to the gun and get soaked!!!
