I shoot at 0 gyro simply because after years of playing I still cannot accurately figure out range or AoB by eye.

Last night I was making an approach on a large convoy at the mouth of the bay west of Gibraltar. They were coming due east and just as I got into visual range the dang thing made a radical change of course to almost due north. December 1941.

I did not want to do an end around so I made a long range shot. I nailed a heavy merchant and a large tanker from probably 6000 meters using T1 torpedoes on medium speed. One hit on the merchant and 2 hits on the tanker. One miss. Both sank.
