Mk16 and the blue aiming circle....

Hmm I haven't had any issue with that in the '68 campaign, but that was in 1.03 and 1.04. I've busy playing with the more modern boats. In the earlier versions at least I always fired a 3 fish spread (4 if I really wanted to kill it), and usually got 1-2 hits. I don't recall one fish consistently being aft of the target.

One thing I suppose would be that even with a 95% solution, it's still just a best guess of the targets course, speed, and range. So being off is certainly a possibility in the real world. I usually shoot of either a visual sighting, or an active return. You might see if a visual shot against a tender or something with no sonar results in a dead on hit. I'll do some testing in '68 as well, see if something has changed.
