TARGET SPEED, searching for the magic bullet
i think i have found it, im working on it, may take a week and, it may take longer, but i made a mission to test
this formula from the torpedo fire control manual, using the procedure explained by the FCM, using just the hydrophones to determine target speed. it works like a charm,
i just need to test it alittle more at extreme hydrophone range, 18.9 nm. i wont post again, until i have it down pat, but as soon as i do, i will present it to you, in a post, and in a mission.
formula is:
SS x(sin LA) / (sin AB)
where
ss = sub speed
la = lead angle
ab = angle on bow
