And your attack geometry will be skewed.
Actually it's just your periscope that must point to where the targets AOB will be 90 degrees, but to simplify things(allowing you to pretty much ignore range among other things) players usually point the whole submarine towards that point. Skippers who are familiar with the "Fast 90" attack method know exactly what I mean. This method of targeting works exactly as advertised on the SH4 U-boat TDC, and can easily be adapted to the US TDC(the already mentioned Dick O'Kane method).
