He instinctively ignores posts with any real meat to them.

Why are the paths I posted not 90 degree intercepts, yet still constant bearing?

Why do an infinite number of them also fulfill the requirement to be within any given sonarman speed range (slow, medium, fast, etc)?

It's the same diagram (more or less) as the one that Nisgeis posted, and also never got a response to.

My diagram also works for whatever speed you throw at it for sub—which is why I put in in a (ballpark) % of sub speed, rather than the trig. It's easy to plug and play.

One (of infinite) example is 108% of sub speed. You claim that any 080, constant bearing contact held with speed 3 by the sub is moving 17 knots. My diagram shows that you can also hold that with the target at ~3.24 knots. Or a faster closing target at ~5.22 knots, or an even faster closer at 6.36 knots. In the special case of AOB 10, then you get your 17. Every speed and AOB combination is possible above the sub speed—and if the AOB is zero the speed can be anything at all.

Everything you say is predicated on reaching an angular arrangement that you can only achieve by accident, or by knowing something you should not know, or claim not to know ahead of time.

Again, to be clear, just answer.

Do you think that all closing targets held at an 080 bearing have an AOB of 010?

It's a yes or no question.

Yeah, and I'm dying for some smirks by Greyrider, and I'm not getting any.
