Newbe here. Thought I had a handle on the TDC but then I can't figure out why my impact angle is 180? (Refer to screen capture)

If the target is in front of me and I am directly on the target's course, wouldn't I hit directly the bow of the ship? (impact angle = 0)

Probably missing something really obvious here

Thanks

Showing what angle the torpedo will hit the ship at the current solution.

In your example the AOB is 0 degrees, hence you aim to hit him astern.

At an AOB 0 you will hit his bow. 180 will hit his stern. The impact angle dial is just the AOB of the torpedo’s course relative to the target if you want to think of it that way. As it stands now, unless I’m mistaken, if you shoot a torpedo directly into a bow-on target at 0 AOB, the impact dial will display 180. Not correct.
