So I'm tracking on most of this, however I got lost on a few things.

How is it determined what the range of acceptable shooting angles is? In the example you have I understand determining 339 as the correct angle for an engagement with a longitudinal spread (or a single aimed fish for that matter). However where I got off track was figuring out the spread of bearings one can fire on.

So in your example of the pivot bearing being 18, why is the lower bound 14 degrees and the up bound 21 degrees?

I thought with the TDC engaged it generated a bearing and set the gyro angle for it regardless of where the scope was pointing? So do I need to send a new bearing and range to the TDC with each torpedo?

Also as I only recently re-installed SH4, does this work with stock 1.5 or do I need to add some mods to get things up to snuff?

Thanks!
