Quite true....if time is really of the essence then I always resort to the "oh my god thats so amazingly quick" TDC solution:
1. Obtain target bearing and distance from scope
2. Enter target speed = target top speed / 2 (top speed from recog man)
3. Visually Estimate angle on bow
4. Watch TDC for a short while to ensure AOB or Speed not too far off (adjust if necessary)
5. Fire spread of four Ts, one amidships, one T 1deg towards target stern, two Ts 1 deg towards target bow.
These are really the only methods I use and i get a very good success rate with them. I have followed all the whizz wheel topics but just haven't got round to trying them out yet. I think my next toy will be attempting real navigation using sun/star positions.....looks like it could be quite interesting.
