Well well well...

Let's see what US Navy Submarine Torpedo Fire Control Manual 1950 has to say: "Estimation of angle on the bow by observation through a periscope is one of the arts peculiar to submarining. An officer's ability to accurately estimate angles on the bow increases directly with his experience in submarines."

So... plotting is one thing and to estimate AOB is another. If you are looking for realism, you just raise the scope and start practising. I learned a lot with SHI and you can do it now with the SHIII.

Good luck, Commander!
