Default Torpedoes fired only in a straight line in SW1.11 and 1.12

I finally fixed the bridge bug in 'SW1.11'. However, there is another problem. The torpedoes I fired do not go to the value entered in the TDC and only fire in a straight line. Tried with other torpedoes, still doesn't work. Tried with 'SW1.12', the problem was still there. Please tell me how to aim properly or how to fix this!

not sure what SW 1.11/1.12 means but your issue sounds like a gyro setting issue.
can you post your JSGME config?

Are you playing the british sub mod we dive at dawn? They had a limited gyro angle.

Soviet torpedoes go straight ahead (bearing 0), this must be kept in mind. TDC in SW is useless because of this. Therefore the calculation of torpedo firing must be done either by navigational chart or by using the special table that is present in SW (it specifies the prejudice to be taken when launching a torpedo, depending on torpedo type, torpedo speed as well as ship's speed)
