I find that the auto TMA in this game has a mind of its own. If I select M1 to track and eventually launch a torp, the AI then switches to all the other contacts I may have, S1, S2, M2, M4. If I try to set it back to M1, it waits a few seconds, then it switches again on me. :hmm: I think my crew needs some discipline.

Auto TMA is a little bit schizophrenic.
If you're playing in a contact rich environment you're better with auto tma off.
The reason is the player can recognise which contact is of value (enemy submarine, etc...) and so do 1 or 2 tma and discard the other contacts whereas the autocrew just does a tma on all contacts and its very confusing if you're going back and forth between autocrew on and autocrew off.

There is a minor glitch that will change the target selected at nav and displayed in the DDI, but the target that a weapon is assigned to will not change unless the player changes it. The only harm done is that you might need to reclick your target every now and then if you want the DDI information.
