If the distance between marks is 250y . multiply it by 2 and it becomes 500. well its 5 knots baby! also the aob is as the TARGET sees you and not as YOU see the target. That could be your problem too.

Could be the speed issue, I think I understand the AOB part of it. Of course, my estimate may be way off. I take their angle to me and subtract that from 360 to get my angle to them. If I see them at my 330, I put the AOB at 30, and I think I factored in the Starboard vs Port side of it. But I did not know about the tubes opening, I am probably getting a number of mistakes on the attack. I don't get much time to work on it with college and work and everything, so it may take me a while to figure this out.
I guess I am also hurrying things because I am trying to sink him in the first pass. I could stand to work on my stalking techniques, if I remember right it is a Mogami-class cruiser, so it is not like he is listening for me. That will have to be when I get some time, I will try to become comfortable in torpedo attacks before I actually try to take out the convoy.
