To be honest, I still try to figure out the logic behind the "MAXIMUM" Deflection Angle. I believe that you have already understand that this graph represents the values of your BROKEN TDC METHOD charts for 46knotters.

Personally I believe that it has something to do with the turning rate of the target in the case of evading the torpedoes, or it gives somehow the maximum hit probability in the case of course/speed change or miscalculation which is also the case if the target is turning. The total target length has nothing to do, because this can be compensated by adjusting the SALVO SPREAD, which is based on the distance of the target, the Impact Angle, which defines the effective target length, the number of the desired hits and the desired overlapping.
