Have you tried my tutorials?

There is one for AOB that has a lot of ships you can test on 
Edit: hmmm I think I have this wrong also I need to do some more tests
I am having problems testing this - I have lost my SOAN and RM is not giving me ship lenght.
hmmm here is another way to get the four numbers to match ? LOL |
I've been practicing with your tutorials.... and not getting a single AOB.
Let's take this liberty cargo I'm looking at right now.
Length 147m
Range 1000m
ticks @ 4x zoom 12
Real AOB 130deg
RAOBF says 178deg
Here's what I did using your second method:
Move the dial so 10 (red arrow) lines up with 147 (yellow arrow.) Then look for 12 along the dial (green arrow) and look at the AOB (blue arrow.) Answer: 178-180??? I'm not looking at his stern. No sir. The true AOB is 130.
So I thought I'd try it at 1x zoom. Afterall, it makes no sense to me the ticks don't move with zoom (so essentially the ship changes from 12 ticks to 3.5 ticks without any change in scale?) Answer with 3.5 ticks is 50deg.
Wait a sec.... 180-50 = 130. It would probably count as "moving away." Hmm. Maybe that one worked. has to be at 1x zoom then, huh? I need to test some more.
EDIT: More testing and no luck. I'm pulling up AOBs that just aren't working.
The hog at bearing 130. True AoB about 55deg
Length: 120m
Range: 1400m
Ticks: 2(x1 zoom), 8(4x zoom)
move the 14 to 120... look at the 2... AOB = 17 (180-17=163). Look at the 8... AOB = 69 (180-69=111)
None of these answers are within 10deg of 55. How does this damn thing work???
