With Regards To Manual Targeting...

There is a bug indeed with switching between torpedo tubes with different speed torpedoes. (T1 slow, medium, fast, T2). When you select a different tube with a torpedo going at a different speed than the torpedo calculations were based on before, they are not updated. Be mindful to (re-)set the speed switch before aiming whenever to switch tubes. Or never use different speeds all together, use the common speed.

It could also be that you forgot to set the TDC update setting to on. Then it keeps firing the torpedo to a constant angle. (which could happen to be 000)

Edit: If the torpedoes are fired along the line of periscope sight then the speed is set to 0 kts or AOB is set to 0 or 180.

just use one of Micropoint method and you wont anymore miss your target.

Thanks y'all! The AOB charts especially, as I can have difficulties with some of the ships.

The video is helpful indeed but i am confused about the 30 knots speed of the torpedo. He measures 30 km from the intersect point to the sub? This is very far away. This part is that i don't get. Or maybe it's 3 km, watching from my phone doesn't really help.

The line is about 3km, a scaled down length representing the torpedo speed. (he says so to make it 4km for medium speed torps, 4.5 km for fast)Later he draws a line along the target course of 0.9 km to represent it's speed and close the triangle with the line of sight. With 30km and 9 km it would just be uncomfortable large on the map.

Thank you mate, appreciated.

The AoB is 0 but shouldn't be something different? The sub doesn't look to the ship exactly at the middle of it. Also, the torpedo goes towards the 0 bearing but the periscope is turned at 344 degrees.

In the TDC targeting, i remember that the bearing was always the number of the direction the sub looks to the ship just before it shoots. But in the manual targeting i read that the bearing must be left to 0.

I am into the game after a long time trying to remember everything and i am thinking of learning to do the targeting manually. Great game but very demanding learning curve.
