U94 stalking a convoy!!!

So i've been on patrol now and only have 6000 tons to show for it. I'm patrolling near Gibralter in the hopes of getting a good catch, and a good catch i've found. A large British convoy has just come through the Straights of Gib by my reckoning and must be heading home to Britain.

I've been checking what ships are in the convoy, and right slap bang in the middle of it is a Southhampton class Cruiser. Just over 10000 tons of warship!!!!. Given the torpedo's that I have avaliable to me, and the fact that she's the heaviest ship in the convoy, i'm makging the crusier my first target. Anything else is secondary, but the crusier by my orders....MUST be sunk!!!!!!

I've slipt in past the front destroyer and i'm moving in for a perfect shot. I'm loving the whole atmosphere of sneaking in to make a kill and then get out. Unlike my Irish sea escapades, i've got over 1000 meters of water to play with, so, Feb 1941 or not.....GOOD LUCK CATCHING ME TOMMIES!!!!!!!

Anyway, to get to the bones of this post. lol. I know that if I put all the relevant target data into the TDC for a target, it auto updates the AOB when I turn the scope and target another ship....BUT, if i choose to fire at a ship aft of my boat and use the stern tube, will the TDC update the correct AOB?? Or do I need another data calculation for a stern shot??

Cheers guys,
