PS.: The AOBF can not be moved. Same Problem with the Attack disc!

I just responded about this to Trevaly in his RAOBF thread.

The ship needs to be in your periscope view obviously just before it passes the line. But any AOB between 15 and 165 degrees should present a nice view. Near 0 or 180 is difficult as the ends might be obscured by large structures on deck. Any AOB would take the same time. If you do not have the periscope aimed at 0 or 180 degrees your (even slight) speed affects the results. The solution is to turn to make that happen.
