More n00b questions

When you are letting the game do the figureing for the torpeados solution is there anyway to set a spread when you fire them?..I hope I asked that right....

Also what depth and range should I use if that can be set and if you can do these settings how do you set them?...

AVGWarhawk · 05-26-07, 06:46 PM

I believe you can. Switch the PK screen to the torp setting screen. Dial in your spread for each torp. Just remember, if you move the spread angle wheel it will stay there even if you move to the next torp to fire. It will not go back to zero automatically. On the same screen you can set your depth. You need to know the draft of the vessel you have targeted. For magnetic detonator set it about a foot deeper than the vessels report draft. Beware, some say the torps are running deeper than you set. Personally, I just leave them as they come and fire away!

I'm very sorry but I dont know what the "PK" screen is nor how to use the spread angle wheel....

When your in the scope/TBT view on the left hand side is the PK/torp setting interface. At the lower left hand corner is a switch. This switch will move you back and forth from the torpedo setting screen and PK screen. The wheel for spread angle is here. Simply click on it and move the wheel to the angle you want. All the other torp settings are found here also.

BTW Clay, why are you sorry? I sit here looking at your computer specs and I'm the one who is sorry with my sorry little computer. But hey, I just dumped $2100.00 for sod in my front yard so my grass is better then your grass...LOL.

what Warhawk said above, you'll have to keep the left mouse button pressed to rotate the spread dial, and the same for depth as well as those to the upper right
