I use 12 kts as target speed, send it to the TDC, max out the range, select 10 degree lead angle, set the Aob to 080 (090 minus 10 deg lead angle). I open all doors and set speed to high.

That is, because the cruiser runs at about 9 Knots, if i recall correctly. The O'Kane Method cancels out range, not speed. So getting the correct speed of the target is important.

Try to hit the Mogami with AOB set to 80, lead Angle 10 deg (Periscope at 350 deg.), and torps to "fast."

Open the outer doors well before firing and fire when the part that you want to hit crosses the hairline at 350 deg. in your Periscope.

The O'Kane Method is, at least for me, by far the easiest and the most successful.

Keep trying. It takes a bit of time. Took some for all of us to figure things out. But its quite rewarding when in the end, you sink ships the manual way.
