I'd avoid screwing with manually setting the timing on the torpedos. I've never had problems with tubes just straight up disappearing though. At that range a single degree change on your scope equals 500+ meters on either side of your target by the time the torpedo gets there. I've made kills as far out as 1500 to 1700 meters but I couldn't tell you the math I used to achieve it. At 5 knots or less, you can practically shoot it at any point on the ship and it will hit.ĭon't forget to drop your own speed at around ~900 meters, so you don't drift too close (causing the torpedo to fail to arm before it impacts), so you have time to adequately plot your shot, and most importantly so the ship doesn't see the ripples created by your attack periscope and change course after you fire. At 10+ knots, you have to lead them ridiculous amounts and they can effectively turn on a dime (in a nautical sense) making them tough targets. If they're moving faster than 7 knots, you've got to lead them more, to the point you're not even looking at them through your scope when you fire. Keep a close eye on their speed because you have to adjust your lead a lot for it. Basically, at 700m, firing at the leading edge of the ship (when your boat is at a 90 degree perpendicular angle) will almost always guarantee a direct hit in the center. Still, it gives you a general idea where you need to line up your shot. I don't rely on the firing telemetry data because it's always behind on where you should be shooting. The training missions give you an.incomplete sense of what it's like trying to chase ships down in the open ocean. Sometimes just plotting a good intercept course when you spot an enemy contact can put you in a good position to get an easy kill, rather than charging straight at a ship at flanking speed to close the distance as quickly as possible. And that's before anyone with an interest in firing BACK at you really comes into play. If you're using the GWX mod, this is actually the majority of game play, trying to make distance on ships that move faster than you while you're submerged, managing the distance to the ship so you can surface to flank it at maximum speed, managing your CO2 levels and battery power on top of all that. Which becomes virtually impossible later on in the war. Otherwise you waste ammo, end up having to surface and use the deck gun to kill freighters. You have to stalk every ship and set yourself up for the perfect shot, every time. Never try to "wing" torpedo shots at higher than 700m, they're just too unreliable and the AI is just good enough to move the 4 degrees it takes to miss them entirely.
Always line up your bow perpendicular to the ship's path. I've found the best way to work is be methodical. I'd fire a tube, check the torpedo map, and it was headed toward Antartica or somewhere I didn't point it.
