TDC Question - Impact Angle
https://ibb.co/mSgvSsT
Newbe here. Thought I had a handle on the TDC but then I can't figure out why my impact angle is 180? (Refer to screen capture) If the target is in front of me and I am directly on the target's course, wouldn't I hit directly the bow of the ship? (impact angle = 0) Probably missing something really obvious here Thanks |

I deleted my message so my statement is not valid.
The indicator is however correct. It seems not logical, but that's how it worked afaik. |

Ok so derstosstrupp says the indicator is incorrect, Johnny-Dog says it IS correct. We have a tie...

This is what Oscar (dev) wrote on Discord regarding impact angle:
The impact angle is the angle of the torpedo (on impact) compared to the course of the ship (ie 0 if it is the same as the ship). The sum of the impact angle (α), deflection angle (β), and angle on bow (γ) is 180. |

You may be right. I’ll take a look on tvre.org to see.
