This is my first post so please be gentle as I'm a bit clueless. I'm about to give up on this game and I've loved the rest of the series. I just can't consistently climb the ladder. I have tried heretic's suggestion and still not consistent. Help

Welcome

I had the same issues when I 1st started, but soon got the hang of it. make sure you are facing the ladder and are close. Now look up just above eye level then walk forward. That should do it 4 u.
I was making the mistake of looking all the way up and wondering why I could not climb, so hope this helped

PLaying the game for 2 days now and slowly get the hang of it.

However, does anybody have an idea where to find the setting for the torpedo salvo spread angle? Maybe it works automatic depending on range, I have certain suspicions going this way, but a manual way of entering these values would be highly appreciated.

Also, does anybody know where the tower emblem folder is located?

welcome

As far as I know there is no way to set the spread angle yourself IMO. Having read alot of threads pre and post release it seems its pretty much set, to what who knows.

Thanks in advance

Talk to N°2 (watch officer) and choose "free the deckgun" option.
Or hit the F5 key.

The biggest thing is to look straight foward when approaching the ladder dont look up
