Getting to grips with manual shooting

thought so. tried it on two ships in the torp training mission. torps for the small tanker were dead on target after siwtching to auto after i put the manual info in.

torpedos for the medium cargo went ahead of the ship and both of them missed, must have been off with my calcs somewhere i'm guessing lol.

i'll get the hang of manual shooting soon enough ....but it would be too complicated doing it without the ships being shown on the maps I play on 90% realism anyway...that'll do for me
