Perhaps another reading of the OTC and 3D TDC/RRU mod instructions is in order, but if anyone has any advice, I'd welcome it.

I've got a question?
You're using "Optical Targeting Correction" for a stock 1.5 game.
The "3D TDC & Radar Range Unit v1.02"
And something called "RRU"? (Guess I need to get out more)
If that's right, I should point out that the "3D TDC" mod overwrites some of the files of OTC that permit the PPI radar screen to function correctly. Neither the range accuracy, or the capabilities of the corrected radar sensitivity/detection function will work as intended from the OTC mod. 3D TDC & Radar Range Unit v1.02 changes the A-scope but does not accurately modify the PPI. Nor does it work on all sub classes.
OTC reworks both A-scope and PPI radar for accurate reading (as much as the "scale" overlays permit) and changes the sensitivity/detection abilities of the radar to allow for not only better surface ship finding but aircraft detection as well. I'm not saying which is better, but I do want to point out that adding the 3D TDC mod over top of OTC will not give you the results you may expect.
As far as your missing a target astern, you may have had the correct range and target track (AoB) inputted. The third factor, target speed, could have been the major reason for the miss. Inputting a targets speed short of what it actually was going will cause a stern miss every time.
Of course, you can use the Dick O'Kane method and stick your nose up the target's butt, so close that you can't miss. I remember watching on a Sunday morning a guy named Oswald take a "gut shot" in Dallas Texas on live TV. Don't need to know anything else than how to pull a trigger to get the job done.
