If you need to turn in the opposite direction as the target crossing your view:
target left->right; you turn left/port: you adjust AOB by deducting the course change from the currently set AOB.

target right->left; you turn right/starboard: you adjust AOB by deducting the course-change from currently set AOB.
Could you clarify that for me please? By target left-> right, do you mean that the target is moving on the scope from the left side towards the right?

Let's assume my current AOB to the target is 90 degrees. So, if my U-boat's heading (not AOB) is say..50 degrees, the ship crosses from left to right and changes course slightly, I rotate starboard 30 degrees to keep up with the ship. My new AOB becomes 30+90 = 120 ?
