Doing the diagonal approach, you would keep this 10nm forward advance. I'm not sure if you need it, but you never said anything about the time of day or sighting conditions so I went for the safest solution. Unfortunately it does involve a bit of trigonometry, or drawing out the triangle on the map and measure the angle.

You are absolutely right. Have to try the triangle method too. I went for the safe method to stay out of their range.
In this case 3.3nm is to short. I'll check maybe i can create a simple formula
