4.02 Aircraft Torpedo Targeting in Midway

Post by ranknfile »

Regardless of whether I select "Aircraft Torpedo Resolution" or not, I do not have manual control of my aircraft's torpedoes. Additionally, they will drop their torpedoes on the nearest ship (not save them to attack the enemy carrier). If I do right click on an enemy carrier, they will drop their torpedoes at a very long range from the target ship.

If you want to manually target your torpedos, you also need to hit the "inhibit firing" button.

Does modifying a strike package en route to the target force the attacker to manually target torpedoes?

Also, does a manual course change of a squadron force manual targeting?

That's a great tip, concerning the "inhibit firing" button, thanks!

Changing the package will not, manually taking over will zero out the targeting. However, unless they're inhibited, the AI will still fire torpedos.

inhibit the torpedoes until almost the minimum range than they will hit but may not explode depending on the pdt file if it's early middle or late
