When you hit the + key to turn your Own Ship perpendicular to the target's course, does the perpendicular angle change if you continue ahead at the same bearing? Assume you are perpendicular to the target's course after hitting the + key. If you stay on the same heading and travel 750 yds. do you need to input a new solution? Or hit the + button and reset the perpendicular angle.

Also, when the target crosses the wire, it sometimes crosses it at a different angle than the firing angle. Eg. the target's bow crosses at 351 degrees (the radarman announces 351 degrees) but the solution says 353 degrees. When do I fire?

I have got the technique down, but I am still missing shots be a few yards aft or stern. I am finding it not as reliable as the Easy AoB mod, but I may be screwing up.
