Expermiting with Scope SH4

So there you have it signed, dated, from Gutted, the explanation with no words of how a zero gyro shot results in a boom regardless of range because as range opens up your lead automatically increases as well as you fire then the ship crosses the wire.

So now you realize I am right because you found someone else who confirms what I said?

Range doesn't matter when shooting with zero gyro angle if you precisely calculate target speed and torpedo speed.

You now appear to be arguing about date of discovery. I never claimed to have invented trigonometry or this firing method. The credit for those things stretch back a few thousand years in one case and over a hundred in the other.

However, I did work all of this out for myself when SH4 was brand new software and firing in manual mode was very buggy.
