Other than that I love going on my gut feeling and manual it just so free

I love that gut feeling, especially when I get set up on a "fast 90" approach on the HMS Illustrious, manage to penetrate her screen without being detected, and launch a full salvo of eels at about 900 yards, and instantly thereafter realize that I should have used 90 degrees *PORT* instead of 90 degrees *STARBOARD* for the AOB.

I wonder how often that happened in real life. What happened was that I got in front of the target track, and had to reverse because I ended up past the track. I then forgot to change the AOB. In the excitement, it's a *VERY* easy thing to miss.

Thats what happens to me all the time, lost in the moment

If you choose port when starboard is required, or vice versa, then the torpedo goes on a lag instead of a leading course. In otherwords, it will allways fall behind the target. You make the TDC think it is going the opposite direction.

ahhhh got ya I shall remember this when I have a patrols

The worst part is that when I am figuring out the AOB I tend to stick my hands out and rotate my body a little. My wife always knows when I'm about to torpedo a ship because I do a little 'dance'.
