Can you use the TDC to configure individual torps to individual targets before firing? i.e. when faced with many targets.

I know you have the spread angle to fire on multiple targets or one large one but I was hoping to pick out unique targets in a convoy....

Nope, don't think so. You select a target, get a soultion, fire. Then you have to pick another one and repeat.

TDC in game is only capable of working on 1 firing solution at a time.

However for convoys only 1 solution is really needed - as long as all the convoy ships travel with same spead and bearing. You just turn your scope and keep firing - if solution works for one target, it will work for the rest (provided you don't change your course meanwhile).

Only after you scare them and they scatter in panic (I love this SH5 feature a lot) you will need more solutions.

I'm still in the Mediterranean, and I found everything but aircraft carriers, there just don't seem to be any. Am I hunting for them too early? Do they appear in later months? Or have they all passed me already and I need to start again?

Hi I'm a 56 y/o/kid and am enjoying SH5 but I am noticing something odd about the mediterranean campaign and was wondering if all users see the same thing. The interplay between surface vessels in the Atlantic was great but now I have moved into the med. I've been there two weeks and have seen a total of 2 merchant ships. Warships all over the place but to try to sink 500 k tonnes? Map contact update has only revealed 2 merchants, sunk one. Wherever I get repositioned to is like a desert. Plenty of aircraft though. I dive immed. Any opinions?
Thanks you !

Got a question...I see the German voices in,

"C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\LngGameData\Voices\German\Data"

But how do I change the voices from English to German? Thanks

The option to use German voices with English subtitles is available when the game is installed. When installing, go to the Custom settings and select the German voices. This is the easiest way. There is probably a way to hack the data files, but I do not know how to do that.

Happy hunting!
