I do apologize for not being tech savvy enough to record and send a video of this occurring (Terrible for a young person, I know). But it happened on multiple occasions with ships coming both directions and all approaches were made between 80-100 track off course (I try to avoid 90 exactly to cut down on the number of duds), and AoB was adjusted accordingly each track. Perhaps it would help if I walkthrough my attack methodology?
-Surface radar picks up a contact, use first two plots to determine a rough course and angle myself accordingly to approach the track between 80-100 degrees.
-Once close enough for continuous updates, get a more precise track on target and adjust if necessary. Approach to within 2500 yds, <1500 if time allows.
-Once target gets in view, periscope depth, lock on with periscope and start PK.
-Having already determined speed while measuring course prior to periscope depth, enter speed first, click send button twice to be sure, measure AoB and click twice to be sure.
-When target gets within twenty degrees of my intended launch bearing, start continuously measuring and updating bearing and range, with periscope locked. Open outer doors.
-Target reaches my intended bearing, and I fire both or all three tubes.
-Switch to attack map and grumble vulgarities as my fish turn the opposing, mirrored angle of the line shown on the attack map for my current solution as being updated by the PK.
