I have been sifting through the thread for an answer but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
You won't get the identity of the ship show up if you have the Identify Target button disabled, it's all down to you to confirm you are looking at the right ship and to set the torpedo running depth to what is necessary, as was the case in reality. You must still click the 'Send Mast Height to TDC' if you want accurate range measurements but you can do this manually too. If making a magnetic pistol shot, aim to run the torpedo 2-4 meters below the stated draft figure although to be honest, especially early war, or during bad weather you're better off going for Impact pistol shots as I always find Magnetic to be very 'hit and miss'.

See what I did there...?
