Just downloaded your document, a "short" 30+ pages report done in a few hours eh ?
When you wrote (not literally) that the bow and stern has to pass the mark, and not the beginning of the pixels i suddenly realized what was wrong and felt like an idiot lol there went my speed calculations
Will still have to read it all, and make some parallel practising.

Hope all goes well with yor exams, i wish you luck

Thanks and greetings,

I didn't say I wrote it in a "Few hours". It was more like 12 hours
Yeah, at small AOB angles, the width of the ship becomes a problem. If you can clearly see the peak of the bow and the start of the flag (where applicable), then you can take a reading. If not, it's better to wait until you can see them properly. Should the target pass the 000 gyro "fire bearing", as I've shown in the tutorial, don't panic, just take a range reading and use magnetic torpedoes set at a depth equal to the target's draft.

Speed and Bearing need to be accurate.
Range can be off by a few hundred meters, and the AOB can be off by up to 10 degrees, you'll still hit your targets.
