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.

Yes, for post-WW2 submarines whose main sensors are hydrophones it seems to be of great value. The only problem is that it requires you to stay at full stop for a long time until you have the three bearings, and that is something few commanders will like to do on a nuke, however for a diesel-electric it could prove to be a fantastic tool
I will build it myself for the use with Dangerous Waters, as I'm a usual Kilo commander
