And i never broke the lock for a previos ship becouse after you have destroy that ship it automatic broke the lock even when the tdc dosen`t work in automatic mode, so for post here play the game first

All you have to do is tap your space bar that will break the 'lock'.

Ill leave it at that.

Did you have the stern tubes selected while the target was off your bow ?

NO! Steamy,What difference would that make to sonar indication ?

None but if you can see it in your periscope you should be able to 'lock' it (in full auto).

There are a plethroa of reasons it may not get picked up by sonar. ...

The target is quiet, covered up by surface noise, or your sound man is a slacker.

Well, I don't see why that would make a difference. Even if you have the opposite side tubes selected you can still lock on the ship, you just get a red arrow instead the the orange/yellow/green.

1. I don't see why having open or closed torpedo doors would have any affect on locking onto a ship, as I've locked onto ships with them both open and closed before.
2. Yes, I am certain my realism settings were set for career mode. I often tweak them to play around with different settings, but the one setting I never ever touch is the auto-target. And, it's not like it happens for a whole patrol or something, it only happens sporadically, in the middle of patrols it has been working fine in before. I'd say it happens maybe once every other patrol.

yeah its true that,but is a really nasty bug anyway, becouse i am in a patrol that i have an merchant convoy weakle defended and the tdc dosent work? and i can lock on a ship with the presicope but the triangule dosent appear for me

[donut]

You can still fire on TBT bearing,leading target with deflection angle using educated guesstimate range versus speed. near manual Ops.If you could get it from Radar.

yah culd be too, but i want to use tdc in automatic mode , ubisoft ****me this time

[Frederf]

I've never tried it but does having all the 'n00b' settings on prevent manual TDC use? I guess that would make sense. If you want to use manual TDC, then try turning off manual targeting?

With automatic targeting you point the periscope at the target and the solution is computed instantly (the gyro angle, which is relative to the heading of the sub). If you’re changing course while firing torpedoes, they will always miss. So always go in a straight line when firing torpedoes.

Could you answer my Qs please.
PLease work with us on this if you want help.

[JREX53]

Just a question to the OP - Did you happen to push the "Position Keeper Status" Button. I have noticed when I have problems with the torpedoes running a different direction then where I want them to go is, because I failed to push that little red button on the TDC. Or if I have changed targets, I have to push that button for the TDC to go to the new target.

Hope this helps.
