Wow the first method is completely adorable.
I tried to learn it in exact way (by complete solution of the law of sines), but this your thread made me realize how it works WITHOUT AoB of the ship!

It counts only with proxy 90 AoB to simplify it and it still works because he do it in both ways - he pretends the ship is at 90 AoB and he counts the speed in that way.
And because of this, he inverts the effect of target real AoB in opposite logic, so this way REAL target AoB is actually corrected by real different target speed.
(in another words - his solution is exactly correct at any target's AoB in optic of torpedo closing to target)

Awesome thread man, thank you!
