OK I need help (please)

What torpedo, what presets?

[gouldjg]

Just standard 48 from seawolf.

I am selecting the sub then right clicking and then engage with.

I know this is cheating but I just wanted to observe some bahavious to see how different it is compared with sub command.

Is it essential to set the torps even with show truth on

If I had to hazard a guess I'd say the presets generated by the AC are bad ... maybe the torp enables to late. Does it drive in a straight line or does it start sneaking before he passes by the other sub?

Just a straight line however even the passive settings should steer the torp as the sub makes dashes yet they do not ????????

I suppose I could try to tweak some torp presets but never had to do this when using the magic show truth and fire in sub command. Thats why I was asking (to see if this was just made more difficult)

I'm thinking that it sounds like your torpedo isn't enableing fast enough to catch the target. I'd say either try fireing from a farther distance away or setting the torpedo enable to a shorter distance. Also.. if you're selecting "Engage target with [weapon]" by clicking on the target on the map, that doesn't mean that you will actually fire accurately at him. Your TMA guy will still use whatever best calculations he has depending on the information coming to him from SONAR and other sources.
To test this, properly, you have to put the calculations yourself. Show Truth is only showing YOU the truth, not your crew.

Just to re-state

Standard run to enable appears to be 10000 yds by default

Subs in instant missions are approx 5nmil away before I fire which indicates that this is in fact too far for active but what abouty th passive, has it been nerfed to be realistic or something or are the decoys pretty good in DW unlike SC?.


When I used to play this game, I would just merely click on enemy sub and hit engage with tube 1 etc. I am sure the presets auotmatically set up and adjuste for the solution but could be wrong.

Just wondering if there is no magic solution anymore and I have to do my homework.

If the torpedo is not enabled, it will not home, regardless of the torpedo's acoustic mode. This is not a nerf, it's just what the enabled/pre-enabled dichotomy means.

Was it like this in SC or was that because the presets were closer and the torps were magic in SC.

Its just that I have only just installed the game and want to note the main differences between this and sc command which I really enjoyed.
