I like this, and might just try it.

I don't think so. Sometimes when I forget to open the doors and I fire a torpedo I get a message "outer door opening" and then there's the short delay before the torpedo actually fires.

No message, it just doesn't fire. Lesser of evils to me, because I hit the fire button and nothing happens, at least I don't waste a torpedo. Hit the Q key, count to 5, then take another bearing on the target before shooting. Even if it takes a whole minute to start over and you got a less than perfect angle and firing solution, you'll still get a much higher percentage of hits than that useless automatic door opener gives you.

Good habit to get into, if the target is in visual range, cycle through the tubes and open all the outer doors. Check the little message window, if you see "closing tube 3" hit the Q key again to get "opening tube 3" before hitting W to cycle to the next tube.

Thanks for the answers. I'm perfectly fine with it, I was just wondering.

I'm in the habit of opening the doors while I'm getting to the firing point.
Every so often, though, there seems to be a longer delay between firing and hearing the "Torpedo in the water!", so a little reassurance that everything's working as expected is a good thing.

An oldie but a goodie.
I’ve installed TMO v2.5 and RSRDC_TMO and I have no problems with opening the doors but the issue I’m having is with auto targeting on, I have the ship locked with Green indication, I fire the torpedo and every time the torpedo turns port away from the target. I have no idea why. The torpedo will not travel towards the target.

Any ideas?

Any ideas?

are you using position keeper while you are approaching the target?

Thanks for your response. Yes, I am using it.

that would be the cause.
use pk between the time you begin tracking and the time you are ready to shoot.
when you are making your shooting observation, FIRST, turn off PK then complete the shooting process.
your fish should run true.
whether it hits and detonates is up to the God of torpedo-defects.
