IF the gyro angle is low. If you have a high gyro angle especially at close range, range needs to be spot on so that the computer can appropriately correct for parallax. That’s very important, because people might get inside a convoy and try to shoot large angled shots and wonder why they are missing.
The relative impacts of speed and AOB, as I mentioned, also highly dependent on the impact angle. At impact angles close to perpendicular, speed is more important, at smaller impact angles like 40°, the solution is more sensitive to AOB errors and speed is more forgiving, because the lateral apparent speed is lower. This is why the U-boat commander’s handbook recommends firing at smaller AOBs if speed is uncertain, or for high speed targets.
