Our first shot will be intentionally five or seven degrees before the perfect bearing. Point there and wait for the ship.......when that fat stack on the stern is in the crosshairs, shoot!
Now aim the scope just in front of the ship and hit the send bearing/range button. When the MOT is on the crosshairs, shoot! No time to dawdle here.
Again leapfrog to ahead of the target and press the send range/bearing button. When the bow crosses the line shoot as the mast crosses the line.

Thanks mate! I will try this method and see how it goes. To be honest I was getting a little frustrated with manual targeting and went back to auto for a single mission to 'start again and build some skills' but it was like shooting ducks in a sideshow alley.
The last sub sim I played was 688 Attack Sub and things have obviously changed a bit since then and I think I got bogged down in all the mods (latest RFB etc) available with this sim and lost the plot on learning the basics.
Also, thanks for the link to the Fire Control Manual and I really appreciate your time and effort in such a lengthy and detailed reply. Hats off to you Sir
