But at step 8 it actually does matter what the real AOB is. If you didn't turn back to a course that is perpendicular to the tartget course you need to set to the AOB as seen at that point. Only set the AOB dial when you actually are facing a direction that will get an AOB of 90 when the target passes the periscope view. You may have succeded because the actual AOB was not that much different but other situations might have resulted in a miss.
Ahah! I see now. I always attack from perpendicular to target heading so I did not notice.

I guess what I was thinking is that while you "shoot the line" it does not matter what the AOB is.

I like this fixed wire method. You can get the target speed in about 30 seconds, all while moving in on your target. Once you have the range, just turn left or right 20 degrees and wait for them to cross your crosshairs!
