In the cases of zero divisions we need to use torpedo speed and that returns us to the problems with torpedo run away and turn times.

True true. But I still can't get Antar's formula to work correctly. Comparing the values it returns to the torp line's time doesn't even come close

Here's the code I have for it:

  # get the target's speed
  ts = Menu.GuiDials.GetValue( GuiDialsWrapper.DialTypes.SOL_SPEED )
  if ts == 0:
   ts = 0.000001
  # get the distance to target
  td = Menu.GuiDials.GetValue( GuiDialsWrapper.DialTypes.SOL_RANGE )
  # get the target's AOB from the TDC dial
  taob = abs( Menu.GuiDials.GetValue( GuiDialsWrapper.DialTypes.SOL_ANGONBOW ) )
  # get the track angle
  tangle = abs( Menu.GuiDials.GetValue( GuiDialsWrapper.DialTypes.SOL_TRACKANGLE ) )
  # calculate 3rd angle of triangle
  auxangle = radians( 180 - taob - ( 180 - tangle ) )
  s_ship = td * ( sin( auxangle ) / sin( radians( 180 - tangle ) ) )
  s_torp = td * ( sin( radians( taob ) ) / sin( radians( 180 - tangle ) ) )
  #to hit torp.time = ship.time
  impacttime = int( round( s_ship / ts ) )
  impacttimemins = impacttime / 60
  impacttimesecs = impacttime - ( impacttimemins * 60 )

I don't understand why we're calculating s_torp when we never use it

Using the TDW_Torp_Tutorial single mission when I set up the shot the torp line says ~2:33 to impact and the caculated values above say 0:35
