RAOBF and speed calculation

kraszus · 03-28-21, 04:29 AM

I've watched a few tutorials on RAOBF usage and it seems to me that most measure speed using the scope, ship length and time taken for ship to pass through centreline. However, none of the tutorials I've seen take into account the AOB of the ship. For example, surely a ship with an AOB of 45 will pass through the scope more quickly than a ship with AOB 90 at same range? Thus giving an incorrect speed.

So is it the case that RAOBF speed calculation is only accurate when target ship has AOB 90?

Or, more likely, I have failed to understand something?
