I can easily combine O'Kane/VA or Cromwell/VA. O'Kane/Cromwell? Not so much. I set Cromwell/VA up at 45deg (ish). The only time I enter O'Kane into a Cromwell/VA attack mix is if I feel confident (or am delusional) about using it in an aft attack, swinging the boat into a 90deg, for a last shot in the salvo. The success rate for that is reeeeeeeeealy low as I've made a lot of noise and roiled up a lot of water letting loose the 6 bow shots. The only time I consult with the map is IF I consider trying an aft O'Kane attack, to locate the target. And, I only do that after I've sent my 45deg course change to the helm.

I guess I use a bastardization of the Cromwell. Because if I have a confirmed target speed of say 14kts. I'll use 17deg as my lead angle, just as I would for a VA attack. And, set the aob for 28deg.

That makes a lil more sense, workable, but probably not my preferred maddness, although close enough.
