Yeah, to me the whole realistic targeting is more trouble than it's worth. The AOB in particular changes very slowly until the range closes, then changes too rapidly to keep up with - my method was to manually set it to 80 when the target was within 2000 yards, just so I could do the "final bearing and shoot" with the AOB already set to near the correct angle.
The angle-off method is easier, set the range to whatever, speed to zero, ignore the AOB and set the scope for a straight out the tubes bearing. Then offset the scope for the lead angle, if the target is coming from the right set the scope 10 to 15 degrees right of zero. Target is a MAYA, when the forward turret hits the crosshairs, fire one. Bridge in the crosshairs, fire two. Stack, fire three, aft mast fire four, essentially spreading the shots along the length by letting the forward progress of the target advance the impact points.
Then all four fish miss astern because I forgot to hit the Q key, then the W to cycle through all the tubes to open the outer doors BEFORE the target came into range.
I emphasize that one factor, DO NOT EVER allow the automatic outer door "feature" to open the outer doors for you, because it's the single biggest cause of misses astern. In fact one of the first things I did after getting Silent 3ditor was to open the \Submarine\NSS_18\NSS_18.sim file, go to wpn_SubTorpedoSys and change auto_open = True to auto_open = False, then repeat for all the other subs. That way if I forget to open the outer door it just won't fire and waste the fish. It's only a few seconds, but all too often that's all it takes to miss.
