True, the OLC Gui/U-jagd AOB finder is way more historical accurate since it is based on the actual optics used back then. I claim no historical accuracy AT ALL. I have no evidence it was used anywhere. (I do know it was used with Silent Hunter 1
) I just consider it plausible that it was known at the time. The formula isn't rocketscience, but on the level of highschool math. Perhaps it is more likely used during the Cold War, with it's bigger emphasis on passive sonar use and technology allowing better bearing resolution. But personally it isn't a concern to me. I like it because it's a nifty slideruler thingy, and I know of no other reliable passive bearing-only solution. (it is possible to draw it out graphically, in 2 ways, but accuracy is dificult to attain.)
Other than that, the OLC Gui/Ujagd AOB finder works totally different anyway. There is no comparison really. OLC Gui/Ujagd-aob finder uses optical sizes to calculate range and AOB. Where this tool uses 3 passive bearings only in a strict interval (from whatever source), and only to determine AOB/'direction of relative motion'.
