Barring the case of a daytime attack where visibility provides the target a chance to see a wet heater's bubble trail in time to turn, I routinely am hitting at those ranges using perpendicular and parallel attacks. I'm not even perfectly at zero or 90 degrees from the target's course. What i am doing is making sure I've got a good speed and AOB and a decent range. And I'm updating those several times as i work my way close to the target. I am waiting to get a 0 gyro angleb (perpendicular) and a 90 or 270 gyro angle (parallel).

I've found the single biggest factor to hitting or missing is getting an accurate speed. Get the speed right and your range/bearing will naturally lead to the target course and AOB determinations. That and plot every attack (at least until you get a sense of what various speeds, ranges, and AOBs look like).. The pause key is there to take the place of you not having a fire control tracking party.
