I'm curious. I've seen it asserted that there is a certain order, but I'm not sure I've ever seen it laid out, nor the reasoning behind it.

I do know that whatever I've been doing seems to work. I put in the AoB/target course, then speed, and finally the bearing and range, which I'll update as needed. Only after that do I turn on the PK. (But then, I've got a number of mods that might affect data input.)

I use vector analysis quite often, and always in S Boats.
One of the first things I do when starting a patrol is go to a quiet area of the map, and draw out a diagram setting up angles and circles I manipulate to solve the problem. I keep meaning to learn the Is-Was.
