Love the look of the new Destroyer sim sadly can't run it ,, so l dusted off DC and ran custom missions chasing u-boats with depth charges with mix results ,, then decide why not try torps well after getting the depth setting right l got 3 in a row ,, first make contact and get a track ,lock target, try to stay on a parallel course a 1000 yards or less ,, sub must be at periscope depth ,, keep torp panel on auto until you are ready to fire select single fire and 0 angle ,,lock target and padlock locked ,, when ready to fire switch to manual and set torp depth to 60 and fire,, good luck and happy hunting

DC’s Enemy subs tend linger at periscope depth making them targets for torps and ramming. They linger too long; aggressively trying to get off their own torps. .This depends a bit on the scenario design. They can also be caught on the surface and shelled.
