I use when its close to most to comfirm I have a good result. Maybe some are experts but use of only RAOFB to get AOB etc it needs to be so close I simply don t have time .Anyway there are so many ways to rome ..sound volume of target, the great help of guy saying wether its closing or moving away, wether it has med slow or high speed , he can track them less than 20 km, all info together gives you a good idea only after two plottings 6 mins apart by drawing lines on the map . you know it doesn t go 2 knots or 30 knots when its med speed etc. Timing them I do when they are close to confirm or maybe it has changed speed..again thinking a med freighter like 130 140 meters, escorts around 90 etc
Now I m at bottom of sea hoping repairs save me. I hammered a freighter with deckgun while an escort "sneaked"up on me. why didn t I torpedo the freighter? I tried but, changed my speedsetting after thinking it was an 80 m long ship when I saw it close..it was not...if it was heavy fog I would have hit it
Sorry all the semiofftopic babble I ll stop here. Good hunting
