Thanks for sharing and for putting together a nice explanation.

If anyone needs a proofreader for handy tips they need to write to the lowest denometer, call me

If I can understand it, it is well written
I know it's hard to believe that range doesn't matter, but if you work out the trigonometry, it's true (and then you are a true believer). If the range increases, the distance the ship travels increases in the same proportion, and the distance the torpedo travels increases in the same proportion. Since they all increase in the same proportion, it's a wash. The key is 90-degree AoB.
