I am using LSH3 and I'm trying to improve my manual targeting accuracy.
When a torpedo misses, is there any way to find out why?
Is accuracy improved if my U-boat is stationary?
Finally, is the AOB that I enter supposed to be my current AOB, prior to torpedo launch, or is it the predicted AOB for when the torpedo strikes my target?
Thanks!

If your TDC is tied to your scope (TDC in auto), your AoB will update as your bearing does.
My procedure:
ID the target and lock it.
Range, Bearing, MARK! (enter a range at the scratchpad).
Start the clock and plot that range and bearing and drop a mark there.
At, 3m15s, Range, Bearing, MARK! Enter this new range at scratchpad and plot it.
Draw a line from first mark through 2nd mark. You now have speed by dividing that distance by 100.
Extend that line a bit. Now drawn an angle backwards to the 2nd mark and then to ownship. You now have AoB
TDC to manual and enter the AoB and speed, then set it back to auto.
Repeat at least once as the target gets closer.
With map updates on, this is stupidly simple. With them off, it's a bit less accurate.
