I have struggled using Manual TDC in Silent Hunter 2 how on earth do you use it?
Ok so you have to set the dials to the appropriate range, speed, bearing, but what about the AOB? how do you calculate this without using the weapons officer spreadsheet and obtain a firing solution?

Apparently the equation for obtaining AOB is

Bearing (thats true bearing) - heading (of enemy) = x -/+ 180

is this the correct equation? it doesn't seem to work or is only working on very rare occaisons perhaps luck of the draw i'd like to know what i am doing wrong any help would be appreciated!
