    Wellington Torpedo "Ship Speed Aiming Guide"?

    In the TFS flashcards under "Vickers Wellington Mk 1C Torpedo Variant: Torpedo employment" (Wellington page 8) it discusses using, and shows a screenshot of, the "Ship Speed Aiming Guide" (see attached image).

    When I fly the Torpedo Wellie in-sim, I don't see the guide. Is there some setup I need to do or some button I need to push to deploy it? Or is it something that didn't quite make it into production or is coming in a future update?

    Anyone know?

    It seems quite a useful little thing, if it's available.

    If I recall it wasn't initially implemented because the He 111 torpedo sight was incomplete, and it'd be considered unfair to release one without the other.
    However DW release was some time ago, but I don't recall any announcement since on the matter.

    Hi TWC_Flug,

    this aiming device is not in the sim. When we were creating flashcards, we were told TFS was going to add it later. That's why it has stayed in the Wellington flashcard.
    I guess TFS had to focus on other things then. Let's hope they will add it in the future.

    Was thinking the exact same thing when I saw this post. This topic has never been mentioned again… would be good if we had an update (or better, the aiming sights).

    We will be adding a Heinkel He-111 torpedo sight and at the same time adding the guide to aim with the Wellington sight.

    We did not want to provide an advantage to the Wellington pilots over the Heinkels so we have delayed releasing this.

    What kind of improvements did you have in mind? AFAIK it works correctly now.
