Pretty easy if you ask me.
"AOB entry dial" from your mod? or the stock one in the TDC.

if stock, lets assume a freighter is heading towards you at true AOB 50. How can you estimate from visual sighting if his AOB is 40-50 or 60? Depending on its speed and range, a 10 degree AOB error will result in a miss.

if on the other hand, you determine range from stadimeter and visual estimation, plot the positions on a map and determine course, you dont need to estimate AOB. inputting the correct course will give you the correct AOB.
