What I'm looking for is this, from Makman's excellent MaGUI mod:



It shows the lead angle for firing a torpedo, in this case set to 44 kts, at a gyro angle of zero to intercept a target moving at the speed indicated on the left and the anticipated AOB at impact, indicated above. I get target speed by taking the length of the vessel and dividing it by the time it takes it to cross the vertical line in the scope. I then multiply that by 1.95 and it gives me the target's speed in knots. I guesstimate the AOB and try to get as close as possible to the target's anticipated track to minimize errors. It works pretty well, especially since range isn't really a factor, unless the target is beyond the range of the torpedo.

So, the question remains, perhaps correctly asked this time, is there any kind of chart like this for American torpedoes? I think they'd be just as handy in SHIV as in SHIII.
