The maths are not too complicated. Bearing from the north - actual course +/- 180º. The thing is finding the bearing from north requires: course. finding course requires plotting. Its too bad they shipped the game without the complete tools and easiness to use to enable a simple mortal to fire successfully. For instance, have you tried completing the torpedo academy mission in 100% under GWX? Almost impossible unless you persue every ship (but the tanker and the stopped one, those are pretty easy AoB = 90..) It's fairly easy to deliver shots if you have time to plot and replot. It's nearly impossible to plot, find range, calculate, browse the book so you find the target... PLus, to have accurate speed you need to mark the map on a 3.15m basis, wich is almost enough time for every ship in that mission to get out of range. I admire those of you who go 100%, i think i'm turning god's eye on. Sorry
