Nope. 220 meters. Dead on bow. two fish. RIGHT UNDER THE KEEL. It looks like the torpedo gets within 10 meters then actually drops below the keel.

"All the player must do is point the periscope at the target and launch a torpedo. It is not necessary to find the range, AOB or speed of the target manually, as the entire process of plotting a solution is handled automatically by the game. "

This is supposed to be easy to do in the tutorial, right? I never take the perisope crosshairs off the target. For one thing, it's locked on, for another, the damn target filles the scope.

Is there any way to actually see the torpedos tracking on the map? I'm not convinced they're going where I point them. I could go out on deck and throw rocks and have a beter chance at getting tonage.

Do you thing my weapons officer is exceeding his beer ration?
