Yep, we all know he is an idiot.

(Last I heard he wsa chasing an American TF at Leyete Gulf trying for his second Essex.) But so am I. Do I believe him or you? Does it make a difference?

[By the way, I have watched the Karamazov videos (the original OLC GUI video tutoiral and the Video Supplement tutorial for OLC Gold) and read the KIUB USER Guide for ATO. Tough stuff, but I sank a moored target at the sub school. I have to keep practicing until I get the technique down, and I see the advantage of a 90 degree Aob attack until I become competent with the AoBF for the more complex manual targeting attacks. You have got me started on the right track, and I appreciate the help.]

Basic Trigonometry is very usefull.

With a bit of practise you will get visual AOB down to +-5Ds (it's not that difficult)
You 'want' to attack at 90Ds so adjust course to AOB+Scope bearing = 90.

Once on course centre scope on target, note your speed and scope bearing.
Adjust your speed so that your target stays on the scope bearing.
From here target speed is just a ratio of your speed and scope bearing.... dam simple
