Default Torpedo Spread Angle Calculator

I've done a quick replica of part of the gizmo that the USS Torsk has on its gryo angle solver bay that allows you to calculate the formula:

No. of degrees total spread = (Target length in feet / 1,000) * (2,000 / Torpedo Run yds) * Sin(Torpedo Track Angle)

It does this in a graphical way, that you can easily and quickly trace out to get the total spread angle for a target. It's much easier than trying to work it out!

Now, it's a prototype at the moment and I had to make a few adjustemnts because I can't see anywhere in the game that tells you what length the topedo run is (it was on the gyro angle solver RL). Would anyone who is interested, particularly in manual targetting like to test it? It works to calculate spreads for auto targeting as well, but it less important.

EDIT: Released here: http://files.filefront.com/TSAC+v21p.../fileinfo.html. Get the torpedo run time from the attack map and follow the instructions.
EDIT2: Changed file to V2.1 as V2 had a slight error in it.
