I try to fire before bearing 000°, at bearing 10°.

This way they usually hit while I am still abeam of the target.

If I fire at 000°, I find my torpedoes don't track as well and I get a lot more misses.

Range becomes important if you have to calculate target speed, that's why if I have my choice, I use the matching speed method on the surface when possible.

If I have the speed, then range really is a non-issue, as the torpedo will intercept all targets on a given AOB and SPEED. But if I have to use the 3 Minute Rule, then my range calculation is very important.

Also, you can use the MILS Method for all ranges, you just need another column added to your range chart.

To use a modern example, a T-72 MBT is about 2.5 MILS long at 2000m at "90° AOB", but only about 1.7 MILS Long at 2000m at "45° AOB".
