Aft Shots
 

In manual targeting, aft shofts, is the procedure basically the same except the stern is on the target rather than the bow?

As far as i can remember...check your AOB...

...and that should do it.

:salute:

Except that I cannot remember that the OLC Gui (which this looks like) had the AOB indicator there as in the picture. I had it in the 3rd dial. The first was bearing afaik. I'm puzzled by this picture.

Seems like somebody made a preference mod out of it.

Correct its OLC...and it has the AOB indicator...using MKIId version of OLC.

BTW, stern shots are exactly the same. Just select the stern tube. Select the AOB angle as you view it in the periscope/Uzo. The needle needs to point to the side that the target is going to in the view.

You're absolutely right. Hit F6, set speed to zero, select the stern tube, and turn the scope until the gyroangle reads 0 (for me it's a hair to the right of the 180º mark). Then back to the TDC, input the target speed, AOB as you said (the arrow should point in the direction you see the ship going), set the range, turn the TDC on, turn the scope, ID the target, and fire when ready.

It wasn't nearly as hard as I'd worried it might be.
