Just bought this. Good product. Usable on a small Android phone but someday maybe use it on a tablet.

Currently playing an old-school GUI on GWX called OLC Gold Mk II.

A great old GUI. Although the night scope (which I love, huge on a 34" monitor), does not show the deflection for torpedo angles, (in the real world, the user would take their face away from the eyepiece and look up and see the deflection angle they set for the torpedo, slightly newer scopes would show this when looking in the eyepiece).

OLC Gold Mk II shows it on the attack scope but not the night scope.

So, this smart device product solves that problem (yes I could just briefly look at the attack scope). 90 degree angle shot, 30 knot torpedo, and the disk shows the deflection angle for a shooting solution.

Using the wire method to figure out target speed: works.

Figuring out distance to track based on current target, distance, AOB: works.

Figuring out AOB by target height to length ratio: works.

And a whole bunch of other things.

In short, nice to have for GUI's that might not have a disk already built in.
