Yes, I saw that thread on Monday and I'm really looking forward to his work. He did a great job on the American version. When there is bad weather or poor visibility I think the slide rule method using a collision course is still the best way to intercept since it's tough to do a range snapshot and you have to get really close to verify AOB.
