Here is what I forgot to post in my reply. The Easy AoB mod permits attacks at various angles without the computations and detailed graphing required in a John Cromwell attack. This morning (or was it last night) I played the single mission Guadalcanal Reinforcements with the Easy AoB mod. I fired one fast and one slow torpedo at a light cruiser at approximately 5,500 yards. I do not know the yardage at impact but the fast torpedo hit. The course of the light cruiser was 156 degrees (a steep angle). The sea was calm with unlimited visitibily, making getting the range easy. The difficulty is getting the range and aspect ratio at night when you cannot see the target well enough to lock in the range and aspect ratio. When that situation occurs, I fall back to the Dick O'Kane attack, or in rare cases, plot an attack by sonar (Werner Sobe style).
