Now I'm no authority by any means, I read and pick up tips here and there and find many of them very useful. But, I'm not quick in math so I just stick with the WO and let the computer do the rest.
It has been my experience that depending on where you pick up the green "Hot shot" button in the periscope, depends on where the torp hits.
for example: if a ship is traveling due east(heading 90) and your approaching from the northeast, sooner or later you going to have to turn to port (left) to shoot. You have a 10 degree window of opportunity. Usually from 15 degrees to 5 degrees or 345 to 355 degrees turning to starboard. Depending on when the triangle turns green, say truning to port at 15 degrees, chances are your going to hit the stearn of the ship. If you wait until it hits the 5 degree mark, your going to hit the bow. 10 degrees equals a hit a "mid-ships." Of course, range to target, bearing, speed, torpedo speed and type of target, merchant, tanker, troop trans, etc., all have to be considered. :hmm:
That is just my experience.
God Bless
Till all are one.
