Even when aiming manually, I don't quite get the hang of it. In the weapon test area they seem to mostly work as expected: I aim at some space in front of the ship, a torpedo is launched and turns toward the red circle. However, the trouble starts when I put multiple red circles, and not directly in front of the ship. From time to time, a torpedo is still launched, but the frequency seems massively reduced. Also, I can't delete misplaced red circles. I believe in SOTS prime I could remove them using del. In battle, I have real trouble firing the things. I waited till the enemy fleet moved in range of the torps and aimed at a spot between my ship and the enemy (within range), but it wouldn't fire. Because the aiming angle was not perfect? I don't know. The behaviour of the detonating torps has a random feeling to me (some times the fire in close succession then nothing happens for a long time, although there are still many red circles in front of the ship) and up to now I have not been able to effectivley use them (mostly because they just won't fire).
More questions:
- how can you aim at a different plane (above/below)?
- can you aim them directly at an enemy (by clicking the enemy instead of the area close to it)?
Thank you very much for shedding some light
