Then to get the AOB, I align the range value on the mid outer dial with the ship's length on the outer ring... then I count the horizontal tics along the ship's entire length. Then I find that value on the mid inner dial and look up the AOB corresponding to it on the inner ring.
The problem is that the tic mark value is always above the 90 degree mark so there is nothing to read there. 
I must be doing something wrong here. |
That one is my fault, trying to do it from memory. I just checked and it's half the length tics. So I used the tics on the right hand side with the ship locked.
I use the Naval Academy > Torpedo mission to check my calculations. I know the stationary ship is around 800m away and around 36 degrees starboard (green) AOB.
So whenever I'm checking a UI and the rings, that's where I go with it.
Sorry about that.
