Why we NEED torpedo failures....

I tried it but my trigonometry is a bit rusty.... Known parameters are the AOB, own speed and bearing- angle. The best I can do is: Target speed = sin(angle difference from 0 at which bearing keeps constant) x Speed ownship

You bet!

Target speed = ownspeed x sin (constant bearing) / sin (AOB)
