View Full Version : HELP! TDC and calculating AoB on AFT tubes (confused)

Okay I am getting good at lining up targets and getting the angle if I have them at 0 degrees and hitting them with the fore tubes. I have even got pretty good at measuring their speed before my approach. I even use my "poor man's quick salvo" by firing all 4 fore tubes and just adding a knot or two and updating the solution (way faster than angling each tube)

what I can't figure out is when I switch to an AFT tube... how do I calc AoB... do I assume 180 is the new 0?

AoB will not change since it's the angle from the enemy's ship to yours. It'll be the same as always.
