I'm trying to understand the TDC in SH3. I was playing with it, and the results are quite different from what I expected. Can somebody enlighten me as to how it works?

Here's what I expect for a very basic setup:

However, look at the TDC for 60 and -60 (300) degrees of bearing.

(60 degrees of bearing. Note that the impact point is inside the circle.)

(-60 [300] degrees of bearing. Now the impact point is way outside the circle.)

Although the estimated impact points are different, they may in fact be going through the paths I expected. But why would it be 33 seconds to impact on one side and 19 seconds to impact on the other, if it's the same range? The torpedo speed is the same between the two (as you can see in the inner speed dial), so I don't get it. :-(
