However the opposite is rarely true: if the AoB is 90 degrees that does not always mean you are heading perpendicular to the target.
You are right, only in the case where you are heading perpendicular to the target will AoB be the reciprocal of the bearing to the target. Any other heading and the AoB will not equal the reciprocal of your bearing.
I feel that the term AoB is confusing and should be changed to AOBOTGWWBESOYTs* for clarity.

This is much easier to understand. I don’t know why the navy did not adopt my initialization before. LoL
