Some slight AOB confusion.

In the first situation I am inclined to put the AOB at 0 degrees. The only problem with this is my torpedoes just shoot straight ahead.

So basically I am treating it like the second situation except I put it at 90 degrees with a speed of zero (and I still usually miss).

In all AOB calculations I see on the web it seems to have the sub perpendicular to the targets path. I seem to find my self running parallel with the ship quite often.

For me I have been treating the target as a straight line with a point in the middle, and then treating myself as a point and calculating the angle. But this doesn't take into consideration the bearing of my sub (and torpedoes obviously come straight out of the front or back).

Am I doing it wrong, and need to make 100% sure I always attack from a perpendicular angle to the target's course?
