-I understand the Position Keeper, and how it enables you to varify your solution while approaching. But when it comes to attacking multiple targets... is there a way to move the scope and have the PK update its AoB (for e.g. a Convoy attack)?
yes, you can shoot at multiple ships, but it takes one extra step due to the AOB and the persicope not being linked as it was in the U-Boats.

Move the scope to the next target, get a range/bearing reading to it and send it.. then set the AOB for the target.. send it and fire. That might sound hard at first, but it's really not.

Since you already know the course of the convoy. Just Adjust the AOB (on the data entry dial) until the target dial on the upper-left of the screen is pointing at the correct course. When it is pointing at the correct course, the AOB is correct.

.ie Guestimate his AOB by rotating the dial to match what you see out the scope. Hit Send.. and look at the target dial on the left. Note where the 0 on the inner dial points to on the outer dial. If the convoy is going 220 degrees.. the 0 on the inner dial should be pointing at 22 on the outer dial. If it's not, adjust the AOB slightly and resend. Just make sure to do Range/Bearing before AOB.

Or you could just guestimate his AOB, and not worry about it, which is what i do now.
