Targeting other parts of a ship?

Wot Brag said! You don't have to use full manual targetting to unlock the scope. Aim the central reticle marker at any point on the ship and that is where the solution will be targetted. I tend to leave the scope aimed lightly in front of the target and let the ships movement bring it onto the sight.

On a big target this lets you fire up to 3 torps with 10 sec intervals. Don't do this if you are using salvo shots though. Always aim for the centre and use the L key cos the spread on the salvoe will mean you have at least one miss if you aim at either end of the ship rather than the middle.

No guarantees of a hit though cos the target may change course or spped between the time you fire and the time the torpedo is due to hit.

If you get in closer than 1km you should have few problems getting hits though.
