Never...

First I observe and plot the contact's true course.

Then I use the TDC to setup a 20° bearing (70° AoB) solution and as points of interest pass the aiming wire, I fire.

If you know target true course and speed it is possible to derive a perfect solution without having to guess at the AoB.

Don't need to turn on the PK at all, still using the TDC for a firing solution though, and I can easily fire spreads just like Dic O'Kane.
