I can see the logic of that, but personally I think it's the wrong end to start at. I don't even bother trying to eyeball AOB myself, I consider it next to impossible to do with any amount of accuracy. If you know (approximate) range, you can determine position and course easily, and once you have the course and position you also have the AOB. Taking into account that range calculation (estimation) is relatively straightforward once you have identified a ship I think it's more newbie-friendly to go that route. There is not much point in having the AOB unless you also manage to get the range, anyway.
