Getting to grips with manual shooting

From one manual noob to another -

You can change gyro to manual in the TDC screen, there's a switch you click.

But, to say that you are putting the info in and then the gyro is making the shot turn too wide isn't right. The imput you are putting in is creating the gyro angle. So for that to be wrong your info must be off.

Right?

Be sure you are in auto TDC mode (ie when the periscope rotates, also the gyro angle does so).

Try to shoot with low gyro angles (330 to 30 degrees) this makes your shooting much more precise (particularly in early war). This means you have to aim your submarine towards the target (though not precisely).

If still you have problems, there is something wrong in the parameters you put in (AOB, range, target speed). Get a mod that lets you see the TDC while in the periscope/UZO screen (eg poor sailor's "my favourite dials") and check that the wheels are at the values you are expecting.

Shoot at close range (1000m or less) because SH3 merchantships can accelerate and avoid your torpedoes!!

Good luck!
