Default problem with sub speed

So i just wanted to ask, if it is normal that when i set up my current speed at 0 the uboat just get stuck at 1kn and doesnt seem to fully stop, this is a problem when i try to set the TDC data. Is there anyway to fix it?

I tried setting the motors in reverse but the gauge never readed zero, it just started to read the reverse speed.


PD: Also when I fire torpedoes they usually miss by a few meters, I guess it's due to bad timing, I usually fire when the bow of the target touches the crosshair at the bearing angle. What should i do to improve this?

You should be able to hit your target directly on wherever your cross hairs are on the boat. If you’re not hitting it where the crossers hit, you’re not accurate. So if you fire your torpedo just when the boat touches the crosshairs, and it still hits… You’re still not accurate it should hit the bow or just miss it.

thank you, i tried shooting when the crosshairs is on the middle of the ship and starded getting more hits! i still missing sometimes so i guess my calculation is inaccurate

You are correct. Remember, the U-boat it’s not meant to be firing torpedo from far away. You should be closest possible to mitigate any errors in your solution.
