Torpedo Shots!!!
 
Is there a chart or, degree wheel and/or measuring device that would tell you distance apart from each degree you offset your torp shots?

In the PK, you have Left/Right degree changes to make up the spread of each torpedo sortie.

Just curious.

Example: if you shoot a spread of 3 torpedos at 2500, each one set 1 degree off, how far is the distance between each torpedo at 2500 (feet or yards?)

Thanks,

Simple math.

A -- offset angle
X -- horizontal offset at target
Y -- distance to target

Tangent A = X / Y

Also another simple rule is: "One degree angle is 17.5 yards per 1000 yards range."

So a two degree offset at 1000 yards will move the impact point 35 yards. Or a one degree over 1500 yards is 17.5 * 1.5 = 26.3 yards.
