Red Book was writen for Sub Command where TMA work was easier than in current DW + RA version.
Theoretically its good book for learning but in my opinion it also learns something wrong about TMA:
- you can perfectly triangulate target position from TA+other sonar (WRONG!)
- you can perfectly predict target pos after turns/zig-zak's (WRONG!)

My scenario (Kill Formion Destroyer) was designed for one purpose: how to do TMA for target, which every 15 minutes changes course for random small value (+/- 10/15 deg)

In first hour target goes generally course 140. After hour target goes generally 130
This kind of maneuvers will teach you different (more correct) thinking about TMA solution.
Its crucial when you play against human opponent. Players usually makes small course corrections very often.

Btw RED BOOK is still good for understanding basic rules of TMA work.
I recommend to read it not only for players who wants to play DW with manual TMA.
