At least get the name right :P

Anyway, having just recently started learning manual targeting, what I found really useful was the Attack Map. Now this is grossly unrealistic, but since it shows the correct position of both your ship and the target, as well as a marker indicating where your current TBT settings think the target is and where it is going, you can use it to correct your readings.

And since it gives immediate feedback you can keep on taking repeated readings and checking them, which is a hell of a lot quicker way to get your eye in than shooting torpedoes...

Now of course I've become dependent on it, and guess I'll have to wean myself off it (it really is against the spirit of the thing), but it has helped me a lot learning.
