I have constant success using the O'Kane method (even shooting with high gyro angles), and dodgy results (mostly misses) using the PK. But I'm using map contact updates! With a 90-degree AoB the range doesn't matter, and that always seems to be my problem with the PK. (And even with map contat updates on, range isn't that precise with the ruler we have.)
My next step is to turn off map contact updates, because I think it's making it too easy for me to form a target track and get that perfect 90-degree AoB shot. I started experimenting with it over the weekend with the Saipan Convoy mission. I just sat there, lost and overwhelmed. I can see it's going to take a little bit of work.
