That’s good news!
Any hint on the ability to keep target locking with periscope low on sea level? (Other than to be fully raised)

To keep the boat scopes high enough to not be awash, raise the boat off of it's "suggested" Periscope Depth. Yes, I said "suggested" PD! When the sea's are calm, PD will usually provide good coverage of the working scopes; Radar Depth will be fairly good for the radar sensors.....HOWEVER, don't expect to NOT adjust your depth as the environment changes. Whether it's the viewable scopes, or the Radar Antennas using the set Radar Depth depth...…..you have to be aware of the sea state, and fine tune the subs depth to make it work as expected. No single "push button" depth will cover the changing environment...….change it on your own as a real sub crew had to! The next release should change that!

There have been changes made to several of the files that should result in a change of the AI being able to detect your periscope. Only testing will tell us if it's close. It looks at first blush to be better, but if it's too much now remains to be seen. An enemy DD / CL / CA seeing your periscope should result in a torpedo response, if you're within range... We're testing the latest edits now. I'll try to throw in several low scope targeting attempts with my other testings.

So, what's the complaint???? In my opinion, you're lucky to get a Gato in 1942 at all. A fresh new recruit shouldn't even be given a high end Gato in 1942.....that's my opinion.

What i was trying to say, is in TMO or Ralles, with flat calm sea i can lock target with periscope not fully raised (low on sea level so not to be detected). Without changing my sub periscope depth. In FOTRSU i can’t. It has to be fully raised. I find it kind of strange.

I ran a test in the version you guys are using with 5 knot winds out of the northwest, with a bit of chop to the water, and the scope was capable of locking near the top, but not at the peak of its rise. Once I had a lock, then I could lower the scope, the only problem being that when a wave broke over the lense head, the "Lock" was lost and I had to go back up to regain the lock. However, you can still use the PK button with the scope low, and shoot at your target without a lock, though the accuracy may be off a pinch, like for me, aiming at the front mast of a ship doing 12 knots at 1600 yards, I did hit just ahead of the props, so almost a miss... A little side note to that though, is I'm not really known for "good targeting"... - I do have pictures of proof, if needed...

My new career started on 12/8/1941 in the S-23 from Cavite/Manila. After the first patrol the base was changed to Surabaya, Java, and subsequently to Perth-Fremantle. On 09/02/1942 I was upgraded to the USS Sturgeon (Salmon Class) while at Perth-Fremantle. On 02/21/1943 I was upgraded to the USS Saury (Sargo Class) after being reasigned to Brisbane. On 07/11/1943 I was upgraded to the USS Balao (Balao Class) out of Brisbane. On 02/19/1944 I was upgraded to the USS Tench (Tench Class) and reassigned to Pearl Harbor. Currently departing on my sixth patrol out of PH in the Tench. PLEASE NOTE: Every upgrade to a new boat has only offered one (or two if the boat is set up for it) .50 Cal AA guns (that do not elevate), and a 3.5" deck gun. No other options for guns has ever been made available - no 20mm, single or double, no 40mm single or double, and no 4.5" or 5.5" deck gun! This the first time career-wise I've ever see the lack of progression in guns, and the first time I've ever been upgraded to a Tench class boat. I'll try to upload the current boat configuration from the Office.

As I've already mentioned in this post, I've tried something else and it seems to do what I expect. It's going to be in the next release. So, look for a fix coming soon. =========== Something though you pointed out bothers me. You stated this: Quote:

I keep my scope as low as possible. Can't lock? I just raise it, can't lock then I raise the boat just like you are saying. Works for me. If I still can't get a lock I just get closer or use my attack map showing my line of fire and guesstimate.
