I'm not talking about range. You asked about spread.
Consider:
The periscope is in low power mode.
Two questions.
1: In a divergent spread, what spread angle yields 100% coverage?
2: If a single torpedo is desired, and the TDC is set to track the center of the ship, what spread must be entered to hit just under the stack?
All you must do to get the answers to these questions is read the telemeter.
Answers:
1: 3 degrees (and a bit of change)
2: 2 degrees to the right
Proof:
This works for any range, AOB, and ship length combination. No calculation required.
I would be curious to know which video? If it's one of my old S-Boat videos, you really should note the deliberately unfavorable circumstances of those attacks. Being rushed at the end is due to not having radar, map contacts enabled, or even OTC, combined with a strong desire to forgo using the TDC to solve the angles for me due to historical accuracy reasons.
