Longest shot...?

In theory If you are shooting at a zero gyro angle and your target's aob and speed is calculated perfectly then your range calculation should be irrelevant.

As far as I know the torpedos modelled in silent hunter will always keep their depth and course without drifting, so I suppose it would be possible to hit a moving target to the limit of your torpedo's range, providing you can get the other two calculations exactly right.

But even with perfect visibility and no waves I'm not sure you'll be able to take good enough readings for the TDC to make the shot.

In practice I can only make good shots out to 5KM at most, and that's with good visibility and calm conditions. But I'm no expert, Sometimes I miss at 500meters
