Yeah dont do it unless you are very very close like no more than 2,000 yards seeing that an in correct "eyeballing" may end up missing by miles.You over/under guess the speed even by a few knots and the only result will be giving the target some pratice at observing torpedo wakes.I feel getting as accurte a range and speed as you can are both very vital parts of the TDCs data while you can be off with the AOB and still get a hit seeing as in TMO for certain the AOB is going to vary some do to zigs and zags anyway. But speed I dont like to guess unless of course the ship is going 0 knots then eyballing is fine. That and I find myself that i am very good at eyeing range and AOB of course I earned the marksman rib in the Air Force and ditto the Army and when I got checked over by the docs at MEPS when I first enlisted I scored so well on the deapth preception test the guy made me do it 3 times.Give me rifle and if i can see it I can kill it after I get to know the rifle.
