For a perpendicular track:

Tangent of lead angle = target speed / torpedo speed

or

lead angle = Arctangent (target speed / torpedo speed)

So, for example, firing a 28 knot torp to hit a ship traveling at 10 knots requires a lead angle of 19.6 degrees.

Just remember, this only works for a 90 deg. track.

P_Funk,

Thanks for starting this thread.
I never knew about the 30kts bug so I'm thinking about changing the table.
I was looking for the original xls file but I seem to have lost it.
Will update the collection files asap.

No problem. I'm just annoyed that I hadn't found your documents collection sooner. There is a lot of great stuff in there.

Looking forward to your changes.

I'm glad you find it useful.

I did find the original file and made a 2.0 version.
You als might like the updated RPM table, which I made some time after the release of the collection:

Links are dead. Mind reposting them? I never got around to downloading them. XD

Would be appreciated.

I just noticed the OS host server is offline. I added another link.
