Yes this is true, very similar.

Constant bearing. Mark!

I read Clear the Bridge like everyone else haha

I suspect my methods of acquiring the solution data would differ from most and so I have my 'own' method. But yes, constant bearing solutions are the way I like to do it.

One difference though I note, when compared to how O Kane did it. My shots start at the first aimpoint, near the bow, often the forward mast. Then each successive shot moves toward the stern as the ships sails past the constant scope bearing. Superstructure, after mast. O Kane's shots were the opposite and his spread moved forward. Small detail, but one nonetheless.
