I see, I understand now that the Gyro-angle is the angle for the torpedo, makes sense.

But then, let me see i I understand correctly: in order to actually get a solution (with visual contact of course), the only data the TDC actually needs to calculate the lead-angle needed is the target speed, AOB, and the torpedo speed (I already have that mod, yes), and of course your own heading and speed (which I assume is already known by the TDC)?

So in reality, the target range is not useful for actually hitting, except for plotting the contact and obtaining target speed?

This is when I wish I remembered my geometry.
