What am i doing wrong? (manual targeting)

[fair_weather]

AoB...that was the one thing I had trouble with...however...I did what all skippers do...use what I have available.

I thought to myself, what is angle on bow really? It's an angle...duh...do we have anything onboard that calculates angles...

...how bout the protractor!

Fairly easy. Go to the nav screen, find your target ship, grab the protractor and if the ship is moving slow enough, click on the bow of the ship and go down the length of it until you reach the mid point of it, then click again and finally drag the final point to your subs position.

Tada! Angle on bow! And it worked the few times I tried it.

You can figure out AoB mathematically or by visual estimation.

AoB = (Target Bearing due North - Target Course) +/- 180

This works well for attacking convoys that you've observed enough to get the course down accurately. However for lone ships estimation is your best bet when you cant take good measurements of target ocurse.
