Adapting the fast 90 proceedure.

I'm a big fan of the fast 90 solution. Range is irrelevant, and I hate the stadimeter.

I'm only using it exactly as planned... boat is 90 degrees to the path of the target vessel, peri sits where the gyro angle is 0 degrees, and firing when the juicy parts of the ship passes through the peri view.

I'm wondering if the fast 90 method can still be used for other angled shots?

Ponder... my boat is in front of the target and is facing into it's path of travel at a 45 degree angle. I can still rotate my peri to line up a 90 degree angle over the predicted path of travel, lock in the AOB, then swing my peri back to a gyro angle of 0 degrees. Torp should intersect with target on a 45 degree angle rather than a 90 degree angle.

TDC will automatically adjust AOB and gyroangle as the scope moves, but does this mean that now the changing range as the target approaches me will affect my shot?

In short, is the range of the target irrelevant only on a 90 degree shot, or is it irrelevant as long as the AOB is correct?

Apologies if this is difficult to understand.
