You don't need the formula to get the AOB.
When you know the course, you can find the AOB in two ways:
1. using the Attack disk that comes with certain modes (U-jagd tools and OLC GUI, and maybe some other). That's the method I use, but the other way around - to get the course out of the observed (estimated) AOB.
2. by plotting on the map. You have to know exact position of the ship, i.e. the range.

Once you've plotted the course, use the protractor tool. stick one end somewhere along the course, in front of the ship. Stick the second end to the position of the ship, and third in your position. The angle you get is the AOB.
