Put the parascope to 00 degrees and then AOB to 90 and then lock in your TDC data. This should cause your gyro angle to read out some number, 045 for example. This number is the number of degrees your torpido is going to turn when you fire it.

I don't understand. If my periscope is at 000 degrees (straight ahead), and the AOB is 90, why would the torpedo not run straight ahead?

Now you rotate your parascope until your gyroangle reads 000, meaning your torpido will run in a strate line after you fire it; realy anything that is +/- 10 from 000 will work just fine. This will also adjust your AOB reading in your TDC, if you have it locked in properly, to a close estamate of what the AOB will be when the ship is at that point. If you rotate further to the ship it will tell you, more or less, what the current AOB for the target is. After you have all this set up you wait. Wait until your target comes into your scope. Where ever your verticle line in your parascope crosses your target when you fire the torpido should hit there, or relitivly close to it.

I'm not understanding this at all, I'm afraid. Are you saying the ship's speed is irrelevant?
Are you saying all I have to do is set AOB to 90, lock my TDC at 000 periscope bearing, then turn the periscope until I have a 000 gyroscope reading, and then shoot when the ship crosses the reticule?
