Wolfpack – Launching a single torpedo

Launching a single torpedo

To fire a torpedo, first use one of the periscopes to find the target distance and speed. Enter these values into the TDC. On the TDC, select your aiming device using the angle tracking selector. This will slave the heading to the periscope rotation. While aiming at the center of the target, enter the angle on the bow. The AOB is automatically updated when the heading value changes, but the distance value is not. When firing at several targets traveling in the same direction, only the distance value needs to be updated between shots.

Select which torpedo tube to fire from using the single shot selector. Tube 1-4 are forward torpedo tubes, tube 5 is the aft tube. The torpedo status panel will let you know which tubes are loaded. Before launching, set torpedo running depth using the depth selector, a lower hit will be more damaging.

Pressing space while using the tracked device (in this case the periscope) will launch the torpedo. If the angle tracking is set to off, torpedoes may be launched from the TDC station by pressing space. The red error light will light up if the target is out of range, if the U-boat is too deep to fire a torpedo, or if the gyro angle requires the torpedo to turn more than +- 135 degrees.
