Help aiming torpedoes
Help! Is there some other way of auto targetting besides using the 3 dots and manual tdc?

How do people auto aim from medium - far distances when dots are useless?

To have realistic play, also the solution finding and aiming of your torpedos, you would have to mod the game having at least the TDW_NewUIs_7_5_0 mod installed. Better have the complete WoS mod installed, it doesn't take long to do. After that, you can play in Real Navigation and Manual TDC which will require that you calculate your torpedo solutions using the tools that the mod provides.
The game becomes much more challenging with these mods.

But modding the game is not easy at all, just to give you an idea here is my long modlist (some mods are not downloadable and hand-made):

An old page already, but the info is out here:

It explains how to use the torps (and hit) without using the dots, basically just like it worked in SH3...

Its actually easier than the dots by alot. Lock then unlock then fire. Able to shoot ships at more than 5k distance.

Just as a sidenote: don't give your torpedo man -any- special abilities like faster torps, the system will only calculate for the standard torpedos. It is mentioned on the page I linked, thought I point it out again, just to make sure ;-)

I can conferim the Auto aim works by Locking on and unlocking. Just aim wher you want to hit. ALSO DO NOT UPGRADE TOPEDO MAN IN ANY WAY!
