I've had SHIV for a week or so, and I've refused to use the 'point and shoot' option so far since I think this is what the simulation is all about for me, but the lack of instruction and documentation in the game manual is beyond frustrating. it's self-defeating. anybody who's got this AoB thing down pat, please some examples! thankyou
When first learning, it helps to draw it out on some paper.

Your ship is heading due east at 90 degrees.

You spot target ship with scope pointing straight ahead at 0 relative bearing - that is when you look at your scope reading, it will say 0.

Target ship is heading due south - 180.

Target's AOB = 90 starboad.

If you draw it out, that should be pretty easy to understand. If you were on the target ship facing straight ahead, you would have turn 90 degrees to your right to see the sub.
