AOB will not (should not) vary as the cruiser is on a constant course and so is your sub (North).
But take a look at what the AOB indicator and the position keeper (upper dial) its CHANGING AOB.
It looks like this :
Relative Bearing to Cruiser: 320 Degrees. Indicated AOB = 40 Degrees.
Relative Bearing to Cruiser: 330 Degrees. Indicated AOB = 50 Degrees.
Relative Bearing to Cruiser: 340 Degrees. Indicated AOB = 60 Degrees.
Relative Bearing to Cruiser: 350 Degrees. Indicated AOB = 70 Degrees.
Relative Bearing to Cruiser: 360 Degrees. Indicated AOB = 80 Degrees.
The AOB should not be changing - Someone wired the position keeper back to front.  |
Why wouldn't AoB change again? If the target is moving and I'm stationary - as in the torp school example - and he's moving from my left to my right, shouldn't AoB be rising to 90 as I am eventually sitting directly off his starboard side?
Sigh. I'll probably have to wait for the new Wiki to get this stuff. |
As the target's relative motion draws it from port to starboard (torpedo attack mission in submarine school) the targets AOB will change. This is easily demonstrated by drawing a constant target course and measuring target AOB at various points on the track. The image below shows the change in AOB as the target progresses on its track.
Slightly OT: This image was done to demonstrate how manual plotting should be done on the attack plot using the positon keeper function on the TDC to refine the targets solution. This is the complete series from the initial observation to final solution on a non-maneuvering contact:
