Silverleaf: I can understand. All this math behind targeting is indeed like wizardry. It may take a while before it is finnished with the new tool though. If you have any further questions about those AOB mysteries I'm willing to help. Just PM me.
Rhodes: Yes, the crew have the incredible ability of calling out degrees exactly when a target crosses every xxx.5 degree of bearing. This is everything but realistic, but you can use this to your advantage if you like. Count the time between the initial and 2nd bearing with a stopwatch (to the second or so, at minimum I usually wait until the 1st-to-2nd bearing is 5 degrees as that is the lower end of the above mentioned tool-scale) and wait the same amount of time for the 3rd. Then estimate the fraction of the 3rd bearing based on how much time the nearest call-out was before of after the 2nd interval ran out. That works better than just counting the minutes and round degrees. Or, using a 1 degree periscope bearingscale also helps to improve the resolution of the measurements. (And would be more realistic)
