It is really not that difficult. The thing is, how do u get fast results and not letting the ship go out of reach. Dring WWII, captains had tables (no pocket calculators) to set up a solution.
The math behind the whole thing is not that difficult but to get a touch of realism, the tables should be there.

By the way, a few manuals here on the net refer to AoB as port or starboard regarding ownship. This is wrong. The port or starboard refers to the target in combination with the angle. Port or starboard in ownship is encompassed in Bearing.
