One more time
I hate to ask these again but...
I have two highly accurate range and bearing readings;
I have sent the two viable readings to the TDC, and clicked my lovely little watch icon;
The sonarman has joyously announced the target's course and speed;
I gracefully enable Mr. PK;
My readings are good ones, too, which is a rarity for me. And I see the faint silouette of a gigantic aircraft carrier looming in the distance, pounding down on my position--its expertly trained crew languishing in blissful ignorance of what will soon befall their fates (IGD wonders if it is the SS RR?);
The sonarman annouces the crew all have hard-ons (whatever that means?!);
I gaze calmly at my gorgeous computer sceen (TMO 2.0), and observe the stadimeter's Aob dial comfortably resting at 0 degrees, which it was set I started tracking the target; and
1. What do I do with the Aob?
2. What do I do with the stadimeter dial? and finally,
3. When do I do it?
Another issue: When the target is way out there, like 20K - 30K yd. range, it is hard to accurately plot range and bearing because the Nav Map is simply to tiny to draw an accurate range and bearing line for those distances. I end up a short bearing line, say 7K yds, marking the line with an "X", and then extending the line to the desired range and bearing, and extending it a third time if necessary. Five words describe this process. "Slow. Pain in the ass."
