You will need to take several observations with the stadmiter to get the correct target speed, the torp calculator works out how long it takes to travel x distance and calculates accordingly.

Sh5 works slightly differently from earlier versions, previously you adjusted the calculator yourself based on observations, in this one, it is simulating you giving your observations to your xo for him to do the calculations.

For aob, I explain it like this, ask yourself how many degrees from the bow a crew member on the targets bridge has to turn to look directly at you, that is the aob. Aob is the most important factor to get right if you are not crossing the T, more important than range or speed, even 1 degree error at range can result in a miss by several meteres.

The best use of your torps, is to set them to detonate a couple of feet below the hull in the centre of the target, water preassure from the explosion forces the ship upwards in the middle, seperating hull plates and can even break the ship in two.
