[REL] Manual AoB Calculator Mod

[CapnScurvy]

I always liked the ability to find the Angle on Bow through a handheld device. There was one made some time ago for SHIII, but I haven't seen it lately. So necessity being the mother of invention, I made up my own.





This calculator has three parts that allow for the target ship course heading, your boat's course heading, and your view-to-target bearing. Once set, the angle on bow can be read and used to accurately input the Position Keeper in the game.

The tool can also be used to set up a future torpedo shot by using a predicted course heading and view-to-target bearing. If the target ship stays on course, the only variable is your boat's changing position. Plot in your future new course heading and view-to-target bearing and "swing to action". The AoB will be figured for you, and fire when your new heading is reached.

I revised this Calculator by reworking the dials for a better match up, plus put the downloaded pages into a PDF format that increases the clarity of the images. I removed the upper black Triangle for inputting the Sub's course heading due to a possible confusion with the smaller blue Arrow that does the same thing. There are three pages of revised instruction describing the parts of the calculator, and how to find angle on bow with the game play option of "Manual Targeting System" check marked. For those familiar with the calculator you may not wish to download the revised one. The PDF can be downloaded at the following site:
