Zero gyro shooting

BW, you are right about the angles not being marked off right. The track angle should be taken from where the target is going to where the sub is. The torpedo track angle, TTa is not always the same as the track angle, Ta, but as this thread is titled "Zero gyro shooting", the TTa should be the same as the Ta. Trying to make use of formulas derived for zero gyro shots in non-zero gyro shots will likely lead to disappointment and frustration.

BTW, for this:
V=target speed
T=Torp speed
A=track angle

When I input the following like before
V=9
T=30
A=75

I get a lead angle of 15.05 deg.
