Hi,

In Wazoo's tutorial (http://www.paulwasserman.net/SHIII/), the perpendicular course to target (the C2 Cargo in the Torpedo Tutorial) was measured to be 326 degrees. However, if you set your U-boat bearing to that course, won't you be behind the target since it keeps on moving forward? Shouldn't you extend your target's course line ahead (56 degrees in this case) and place your protractor on a an extended point on the line, so that you intersect the cargo?
