Do you guys calculate AoB and enter speed and other data when you're rushing for a last shot before diving and are no longer 90º from your target? where do you get your aim? I've found that if i try always for the bow i'll rarely hit as i calculate speed by plotting and the charts provided (GWX) naturally can't provide exact values. I've missed a crippled cargo (he reduced speed so the convoy's speed no longer applied) by a centimeter (literally). I don't have external cameras or anything else so i figure it was aufully close. Oh well.
Btw where to aim for? I mean large tankers, cargos, merchants. Where for the most damage? What i usually do in my type VIIC is hit them once and then wait till they fall back due to slowness. I then persue this one crippled one and usually i get the kill. What happened this time was 2 escorts must have heard me and went back from the pack. I had little time to a proper solution (actually i had quite some time, i suck ) and missed.
