Default AoB fix

If you are targeting a convoy where all ships are on the same course and have input that data, the usefulness of the easy AoB is minimized. However, the easy AoB makes it easier/faster to input the course information, including subsequent course changes, and verify that it is recorded correctly (by looking at the TGT dial, and by verifying the firing solution on the Attack Map).

Also, if target ships are on different courses, it is faster to set up for the different targets using the easy AoB to track their courses.

The AoB is effective at long range if you can get a good lock on the aspect ratio.

My watch is over and I have been relieved.

FYI - The TMO version of these mods is compatible with the new 1.8 Beta. I will certify the official 1.8 version of TMO works as well when released.

Ive been practicing with this Mod in the torpedo training against the mogami cruiser,and doing exactly the steps that nicolas shows on his video,when i calculate the speed i get usually 5 to 6 knots,and with that speed reading,ive been missing all my shots every time,but i notice that nicolas gets 10 knots on the cruiser when he clicks on the stopwatch and inputs it thereafter into the TDC,i therefore tried the training mission again and put in 10 knots manually,and fired all my torps this time they all hit.So why is it im getting bogus speed estimations on my target when i click on the stopwatch with this mod

Default I almost don't care, but....

mainexpress, that is an INTERESTING question. It should not be happening as I just whacked a freigther which damn near ran my boat down (carelessly, I had my periscope pointedt the wrong direction), and it was doing 7 knots. (I sank itt it with a torpedo at 600-700 ydst, so now I can sleep peacefully). However, its speed was not 6 kts. Easy AoB is a great tool and in theory it should work at speed of less than 7 kts. or less. Is your range/aspect ratio correct (dial on the upper right)?

Im doing everything correctly according to nicolas training video,but im getting incorrect speed readings,the range finder seems to be working good,this mod will not work for me unless i can get proper speed readings.just to let you know i have the folder TGT DIALS TO PK FIX-RFB in my mods folder then enabled via JSGME.I just tried the torpedo training school again and once more its saying 5 knots. when i know that mogami is doing 10 knts.

I'm getting the exact same thing, using DAILS TO PK FIX-RFB as well, so you're not alone.

Default Oh, Mr. Nicolas?

Nicolas is in Guatemala. How his boat ended up there is beyond me. I suggest you send him a private message.

Hi piggy yeah its weird,allthough im doing my career right now,and i just fired 4 shots on the port side of a raked bow split freighter,from about 1800 out and they all struck on target,unfortunately they were all duds go figure with those Mark 14s,So maybe its working now,try it in your career M8.
