I'm goin' down

Here is the short version.
Mr. Nicolos, a captain who has somehow managed to sail his boat to Guatemala, has created a cfg dials fix for the TDC which emables a captain to easily adjust the AoB to a target's true course. The TBT adjusts automatically (how he did it I will never understand!).
Captain ddrgn has created a cfg dials fix that enables a captain to further adjust the AoB based upon the target's speed in the same manner.
Captain ddrgn is in the process of combining the two mods into a single mod which can be downloaded and activated via JSGME. Until that is done, which could be very soon, both mods can be activated by cutting and pasting to the cfg files as directed. All of this is explained in the newly stickied Easy Aob Mod that is posted in the SH4 Mod Forum.
These mods enable a captain to attack using the true course of the target, and he can verify his solution on the Attack Map. Attacks at long range are accurate at almost any angle using this method. My longest successful attack occurred at 4,403 yds. at a steep torpedo angle. These mods make it much easier to attack multiple ships on the same course that are travelling in a convoy or task force.
Please see the Easy Aob Mod posted in the Mod forum for the recent history of these two mods, which constitute a technological breakthrough in terms of aiding attack strategy. The next generation of tools to aid an attack are upon us, and these mods, soon to be combined, constitue a brilliant follow-up to masterful work of the pioneers of attack strategy we are familiar with, including Werner Sob, Rockin Robbins, and Hitman to name a few. [My personal favoirte mod has been Nisgeis torpedo angle mod (where did you come up with the data for that!??), but the Easy AoB mod is catching up quickly.]
To put it in perspective, if a newbie uses this mod, it is like being upgraded from a donkey to a Indy 500 race car. For the veterans, you will feel like you have traded your dependable old Buick/Ford for a Ferrari.
