However, if you're goin to respond, please do so with useful information. I'm not trying to start anything or cause problems. I'm just looking for some clarification and help. That being said...

No one said you're complaining or trying to create a problem. The only thing I did was to try to explain a few things. I was not trying to be clever or to tell you off. I'm always trying to help people in this forum and I'm always trying to be respectfull of other people's opinions. Obviously I don't know everything and every single piece of information I share with the community is honnest. I might post something wrong some times, but it is not intentional.

That does not make sense as the targetting reticule would have been installed on the gun to account for the fact that its set off to the right of the barrell. I understand the bobbing and stuff affecting trajectory and distance of the shots, no argument there. Just wondering what the justification is for this. If you don't know, well then feel free not to comment as all you're doing is creating controversy where there is none.

Despite your last comment I will offer an opinion. Obviously it's just an opinion and you don't have to take it if you don't like it. I have the feeling that the reason why you're firing a bit further to the back has to do with the velocity and relative position to the target of your boat. Because you're moving faster than your target you need to compencate for this by firing a bit further to the back. Try this simple test if you like. Stop your boat and fire on a stationary target. You will see that the shell will go almost straight in and there will be no adjustment. Also don't forget they optics they were using back then was not so advanced (in terms of using a targeting computer) as the ones we're using now. But again as I said this is just an opinion.

I did not say you're an idiot and I was not trying to be patronising. If I appear as one I'm really sorry as it was not intentional. The reason why planes attack you in the Naval Accademy is to prepare you for what's comming up in the real thing. A bit of advice: When you see a plane DIVE DIVE DIVE!!!! They're deadly
