wait, i think what you are saying is that the measurement of the AOB was off the scale, and not that the target was moving away from you.

In this case you have made a measurement error. The error is either because you inaccurately measured, or because you have the wrong magnification, or because the intel in the recog manual is incorrect. If the latter, it sucks for a kaleun, doesn't it? Still easier than in reality though. I think they generally had to guess the dimensions of merchants.

The good news is that chances are the AOB is between 60 and 120. The torpedo solution for these AOBs does not vary much in this range. if you are in a firing position, your should be accurate enough to hit with an inputted AOB of 90.
