Two target map Qs

overandout · 02-14-08, 11:00 AM

Yesterday, I sank a European Composite Freighter w/ three fish going to nearly the exact same spot! Where to position the green line (that shows the torp path) in relation to the target? I put it ahead and it still struck at nearly the same area.

How do I know that the ship in my scope is the same one on the target map? That's very impt w/ multiple ships.

TIA!

First, if you're using the position keeper, the only way to adjust impact point is to play with the spread angle setting. If not, then the torpedo will take the bearing-to-target information from the position of the scope when you fire, so you can aim a little farther ahead or behind to vary the point of impact.

Second, if you have a target locked, when you go to the attack map you'll see what looks like a circle drawn in pencil around your locked target icon.
