7. Fire when torpedo gyro angle is minimal

The reason for multiple standimeter checks is to give the PK an accurate position to track from. Also if no escort is nearby I always get an active sonar range reading sent in before I turn PK on.

This is my first try at manual TDC (before 1.3 the AoB and speed estimates got me too annoyed to play on manual). It's been working quite nicely so far. First few solutions were pretty way off but they got better after a while. I'm pretty confident in my ability to hit ~60% of the time on any non-manuvering target within 3000 meters.
Thanks, I'll try this, and I have never used active sonar to get bearing and range, could try that too.
