So after chewing on this for a bit, I want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly...I should leave the periscope trained to 0 degrees relative, and shoot as the target passes the correct relative bearing for torpedo and target speeds. (for example 9 degrees for a medium speed torpedo at a 6 knot target passing right to left). Because if you turn the scope to a different bearing with the TDC engaged, you are altering the gyro angle, and changing your solution.
Have I got that right? Or am I missing it? (the point and the target
)
