Started a new 1943 career since lost last one when did fresh install so began new one.

TMO 2.0 RSRD
USS Grayling Gar Class
Brisbane
Map contacts OFF, free camera OFF but due to limited play time decided to go old school and run auto target.

Left port on 6 January 1943 and proceeded to Wewak, New Guinea.After finding nothing there headed for a patrol off Rabaul.On 20 January around 0945 made contact with a convoy....three freighters with two subchasers escorting. leaving Rabaul, most likely bound for Truk.

Conned the boat into decent position but a zig put me further away, I fired from 2800 yards, 3 Mark 14's against both large freighters(Nagara Maru) Numbers 1-3 fired normally, 4 went into a circle run, forcing me to go to 100 feet.Soon heard explosions, all five remaining torpedos prematurely exploded.I went to 250 feet and endured a brutal depth charging but survived.

After an end around all afternoon, made a night surface attack, fired from long range due to full moon.Six torpedos again, one dud , rest hit true and sank both ships.I slipped away.

Anyway....I like auto target and find it when ran in conjunction with map contacts off and cams off to be pretty realistic since the Captain of the sub did not do all the tracking, he made observations and conned the boat, often based on info from his crew via sound, radar and plot.Realism is taken away in game since auto target is pretty much always correct.

I would love auto target if could take out the annoying "triangle". Anyone figure it out yet?? If not, would someone make it their mission.Hellp if not remove it, find a way to hide it or something, really kills things.

I'll go back to manual targeting next patrol but having fun, just need the triangle gone.
