Target locking cheat - how to avoid?

I use exactly the same settings you do, and I understand the temptation, but I resist it everytime, until I can actually see the ship myself or, when it's real dark, my crew reports it.

I do most of my intercepting and hunting by hydrophone, get a rough estimate of targets course, do a quick dash on the surface for about 10 to 15km on a rough intercept course, listen again, get a good course and speed indication, then set up an intercept, submerge fairly early and stick up the scope when the target should be visible in the prevailing weather. If I can't see it yet, lower scope immediately and get closer, also minimizes radar exposure later on

same tactic for surface intercepts or decks awash attacks on convoys

I've never used wo assist couldn't tell you if it works

Yes, hard not to use it when you know it´s there, but don´t

Give yourself a slap on the hand if you do

I use these settings

[Current]
LimitedBatteries=true
LimitedCompressedAir=true
LimitedO2=true
LimitedFuel=true
RealisticVulnerability=true
RealisticRepairTime=true
RealisticShipSinkingTime=true
ManualTargetingSystem=false
NoMapUpdate=false
RealisticSensors=true
DudTorpedoes=true
RealisticReload=true
NoEventCamera=true
NoExternalView=false
NoStabilizeView=true
NoNoiseMeter=true
NoWeaponOfficerAssist=true
[MiscSettings]
AlwaysAutotargeting=0,0,0,0,0;for warships, merchants, uboats, air and, respectively, land targets

I have not used WE assist for so long, I don´t even remember what diff it does:hmm:
I do it the same way as KeptinCranky.
