TDC - Angle On Bow
Hey guys need a little help here if possible please ..... when using my TDC i can get things done except I dont know how to work out Angle on Bow for firing. Do I set the angle on bow to the ships position as i see it through my periscope or am i supposed to guess where it will be when i fire and the torpedo hits it at a specific point ... sort of 'deflective shooting'?
All the best and many thanks James |

When I setup the 90 degree T shot, I first move the periscope to read 0, then set AOB to 90 or -90 depending on the direction the target is moving.
After that AOB updates automatically based on my periscope direction apparently. I just shoot at 350/10 and it hits around 0. |

My god, we really need a VAST tutorial to explain these things again....
Read the first pages of this doc. It will explain the relation between the AOB and the Bearing. (i hope) http://www.filefront.com/15351513/Manual-Targeting.zip/ PS. I've just realized how many typos I've made... "It's bearing?!" What was I thinking?! |

For aob, I explain it like this, ask yourself how many degrees from the bow a crew member on the targets bridge has to turn to look directly at you, that is the aob.
