So I decided to give Manual Targeting a go after downloading OLC's GUI. When I was out patrolling, I saw a merchant ship out in the distance, but because it was so dark, I found it hard to calculate its range and AOB. Because of this, I had to stay out of visual range for about 2 or 3 hours until the sun came up.

Is there a better way? Such as just using the map tools to calculate everything? Or is it really best to gather data during the day, then attack at night?
