Interestingly, Nisgeis tells me that in the real American boat you could directly hook up the periscope bearing to the TDC, but that we can't do that in the game. That's frustrating!
RR, in looking at your cards I realize somehow I've made my "Cromwell" attack into the "vector" attack...they are similar, but the vector attack is more work to calculate and so when I'm in a hurry I tend to avoid it--the Cromwell attack as you lay out is simpler to execute than what I've been doing, so maybe now with the clarification these great aids have given me perhaps the "Cromwell" technique will become more utilized in my attacks. Many Thanks!!
