Here is what I do remember to do from what you taught me, Sicknets:

1. Periscope and lock. Press X (L in SH3) to follow target with scope.
2. Mark, time, and measure to get the speed.
3. Get angle of bow with protractor starting from my ship, draw to target ship, draw angle line referencing it's bow point.

and that's where I think I'm missing a step. In fact now that I typed it out I think what I'm not doing is setting the AOB in whatever dial it needs to be set in.

The next step I do is watch the gyro angle dials waiting for them to zero to fire.
yes sounds like an AOB issue, make sure you are still locked onto the target when you input the AOB value, if it is not locked onto the target when you input the AOB, it will be incorrect, as the TDC will be auto keeping track and calculating from the point of where the periscope was at the time of input
