TWOS: Manual TDC, check. RAOBF, check. Gyro... ARGH >_<

Yeah. I know regarding reallife eyeballing.

I found the video. It is the one from ThaineFurrows called 'Sh5 - attack plot'.

Ok. At 27mins of the video, he fires the torp after what I can assume is a very good calculation for the firing solution.

However, I noticed he uses the periscope and aims at the structure instead of the 0' gyro.

Did the torpedo actually go straight or did it actually do a curve during it's runtime?

In SH1, you had 360' disc so to speak to tell the torp where to go once launched. It just confuses me when the torp does follow the bearing of your periscope and when not.

Or is this all due to the TDC being on or not?
Bit lost.

Been watching the video a few times but couldn't replicate all the results other than dumb luck.
