Algebraic Firing Solution

TorpX,
It’s not clear to me why your application doesn’t generate at least a partial firing solution for Case 3, i.e. the lead angle, which is all one really needs. Ceteris paribus. Given the target speed (VShip) , the torpedo speed (VTorpedo), and the interception angle (θIntercept) (180°-track angle (θTrack)), the desired lead angle (θDeflection) drops into your lap. See my Zero gyro shooting.

I admire the work you’re putting in on this topic.

Please keep it up.
