Using Auto Targeting

fright52 · 02-26-12, 12:31 AM

Pretty new to SH4, straight from box, with no "mods". I've watched RockinRobbins tutorial on using auto assist torpedo firing but I'm missing something. I believe he states that you only need to set torpedo speed to high, open tube doors, aim and shoot. I keep trying this approach on the Sub School Convoy and I'm lucky if one torp finds it's mark. Most of them go every way but near a boat. Could someone explain to me what am I doing wrong?
Do I have to 1) Identify ship 2) use the stadimeter to mark distance 3) determine speed and set AOB? Isn't this only done with manual targeting?
Also, somehow I get the periscope to "lock" on to one ship. Up until now, I can only "down scope" then "upscope" so I can turn to new target. I can finally get to the targets but, can't get the job done! Hope you can set this "Sod Pounder" straight. Thanks
