Torpedo Error?

Welcome aboard, twon01. Happy to have you with us.

thanks guys for the quick reply! You guys rock!

Mark: I am using manual fire control. I will attach a photo of the procedure that I was following. The thing of it was, I couldn't miss during the practice missions. No matter my angle to target course. I also tried the constant bearing method (or whatever the correct name for it is....where you constantly update the information to the TDC from sightings from the scope). It never seemed to matter, the torpedoes turn left 45 degree.

Bleiente: I found a different thread that you suggested installing the torpedo patch, I have had the same issue before installing it, and after. I will start over with a clean install this evening (east coast time zone for me).

Here is the photo from Rock'n'robins that I was using.

Again, thanks for all the help!

I would do just the first four mods in the list, and see what you get. If it still does it on Manual, see what it does on Automatic...

Ok a bit of an update:

I tried propbeanie's suggestion of limiting the number of mods with no success. The torpedoes simply took a 45 degree turn to the left no matter what I told them to do.

So I uninstalled everything and started over. I got a clean install of 1.5 then installed the modsoup by the instructions listed on bleiente's post. Everything now works like a charm!

I started my first patrol on 12/1/41 out of Manila and headed north to patrol. On 12/9/41 I ran into the entire Jap invasion force heading towards Luzon. I managed to sink 1 transport before being driven deep by the escorts. I shadowed the convoy for the next two days, but every time I would move in for a strike, an escort would drive me down and the convoy would speed off. I was almost of out fuel from running flank speed to perform end-a-round's that I returned to base to refuel.

Thanks guys for all the hard work, it really does show the passion you have for the game!

yeah. consistency between practice, patrols, missions, and careers should be expected. however, through years of experience we have noticed that one cannot count on consistency: there are differences in performance.
don't yell at me....yell at ubisoft.
when we test new mods we always test each one of the separate patrol options for compatibility.
try automatic fire control (just one mission) and see if the issue re-occurs. at least then you will have one more piece of the puzzle.
good luck.

Thanks Mark. I'm not stressed about it (its just a game), and I was just getting back into it from a couple years hiatus. It works great now!

Again can not say enough to everyone who contributes to all the mods and tech help for guys like me! thanks!

Have you tried Rockin Robbins Corruption Management System?
Highly recommended!
