Jeeez, some of you guys just get too scientific when it comes to AOB.

It's very easy to just look at a ship and approximate it. And that approximation will be good enough 99% of the time.

Also, if you've been plotting range and bearings on your map.. All one has to do is measure out the AOB.

Another easy way is to turn perpindicular to the target, set 90 degree AOB while the scope is at zero, then swing the scope to the target. It's called fast 90. The scope and AOB are linked. As you move the scope it updates the AOB. So all you have to do is set it ONCE, and so long as neither of you turn... the AOB will be correct regardless of where you scope is positioned.
