Wiz Wheel Found

I recently put together an Angle on Bow Calculator that can be printed off and cut out for use. It has three basic parts that take in the basic information that AoB calculations need. Target course heading, your sub's course heading, and your periscope view bearing.



Unlike some AoB calculators, this one will give you accurate AoB readings without doing extra math with the periscope view bearings. Printable instructions and the three parts of the calculator can be found at:

Most excellant!

This is really nice. It's about the most easy to use that I've seen. You might want to put it on the Mods Forum, so it will go onto the Mods & Tools list. It is really nicely done.

Thank you,

I'm going to be using this a lot.

Thanks All !

I am going to try and have the printable pages as a PDF file. Making them with JPEG lost a little resolution to the original. If they work out, I'll have them on the web page soon.

Walsh2509, putting it on the Navigation Map will have to be left up to a better man then I. What I would like to see, is a clearer Nav. Map protractor.
