"Auto-aiming" for weak spots in GWX screwed up??

Yeah, i used to do that when i first starting playing SH3. You have to get to within (under) 1000 meters to your target. Have Automatic TDC enabled, with the recognition manual open. You can acutally pick out where you want the torped to hit. Engine room, fuel bunker, ammo bunker, etc. Everythign except the Keel, which was represented, but didnt work right.

The sum of it is, you literally blow ships apart with 1 torpedo every time. Because a "targeted" shot like that, resulted in a critical hit every time, hence, KABOOM. I think this is what's called the AutoTDC's "silver bullet effect", or rather, all you have to do is have a torpedo hit one of those compartments regardless if you aimed for it or not. Instant critical hit, 100% every time, garunteed. Playing like this, if you have 22 torpedo,s your garunteed 22 sunken ships.

After awhile it got old, the game was too easy, and the tonnage highly unrealistc. I honestly felt embarrased for ever having posted a single "looky what i did" post having autoTDC enabled at the time.. It was my primary reason for shifting to manual targeting.
