Grrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!

Letting the game do the targetting..When I get a green triangle and fire the torpedo's they go of to the right about 5 to 8 degrees..What is the best way to compensate for this?? I'm wasteing a lot of torpedo's and Halsey's going to come down on me....

When you look at the attack screen, do you see two lines from the bow or stern of your boat stretching out towards the target ship?

maybe you've got some residual dirt in the tubes. get a crew down there to clean it out before you use it again.

ctr+shift+del

this will clean the tubes out.

My guess is that the TDC was still "locked" on a previous target.

There is a red button on the tracking data screen make sure you click that when you switch targets.

Are you pressing the L key to lock onto the target and send the data to the TDC? You can get the green triangle but without pressing L you ain't gonna hit nothing sir.
