Real Noobie targeting question's

cali03boss mentioned a method of estimating AOB using your hand, but I can't find the post right now. If you PM him, I'll bet he will explain it. It isn't perfect, but beats your Mark 1 eyeball and it doesn't require plotting and measuring on the nav map or external handling in MoBo.

The disadvantage, which it shares with any seat of the pants technique, is that it does little to alert you to a zig in the target's course. Many a torpedo is wasted by shooting it based on obsolete data. I believe a continuously updated plot is the best way to avoid this.

Still, cali03boss' hand trick is perfect for early observations where you are developing a rough plot, or quick shoot situations where you have no time for a refined solution.
