Calculate AOB

Whenever possible, I try to shoot a 90, so I don't even take a measure of the AOB 90% of the time.

With the method I described above, I've routinely hit fast merchants and warships in excess of 6km with torpedo runs of over 7 minutes. I beg to differ, precision and accuracy does matter.

You're allowed to differ...
Now if you're using manual targeting, no WO help and no map contact update, you must be pretty good to measure a precise distance at 6000m (specially if the sea is choppy)... anything above 2000 I am usually off the mark, this is why I shoot close.
