The British report on HMS Graph (U-570) - January 1943 - mentions it:

Gyro Angling :
"Graph":
Any gyro angle between 0° and 90° R or L can be set automatically.

British Practice:
traight running or 90° angles only are used. The external angling gear on each tube must be set separately by hand.
Back to the problem at hand, which Keltos brought to my attention... I don't have more solutions than you guys. I should have thought about this one at some point and have the programmers ad some extra stuff to account for British practice, which was not completely unknown to me

I wonder if the firing button could be blocked when the gyro angle was different from a set of values?
