I am almost there. Nisgeis and Manchusen (I should have anticipated that Manchusen would drop a screen shot display to answer my question [How can the Japanese possibly compete with likes of these guys?]. They are off in "billiant" land again.
Two questions left. I understand how the Cromwell attack works if my boat is not moving.
(1) What if it is moving? Then the distance the torpedeos travel along the lead angle shortens as my boat my boat approaches the target's course.
And, a related question (actually, a subpart of the first question.)
(2) Does this movement have to be accounted for in the Cromwell attack? (I do not think the lead angle is changing, and it remains constant, although I might be wrong about that assumption.)
A special thanks to Nisgeis and Manchusen (again!). I find the screen shots used in Manchusen's step by step examples extremely helpful, and NIgeis, my hat is off to your concise, articulate explanations which are superior to the analyses and writings of many lawyers whose work I have reviewed. (Do you guys love me or what?
)
"Pass another of those Rockin Robbins' Mai Tai's over here." My crew promised me that I could have three of them before lunch, and I am just about finished with my second one.)
Mai Tai in hand, I glance at Rockin Robbin's tutorial as supplemented by Manchusen's and Nigeis' posts, and turn on the ship's intercom:
"OKAY BOYS, LET'S HUNT SOME MEAT."
