3 ways I go about it

1. Guesstimate by observing.

2. Know the target's course and location and plot it on the map. Use the angle tool, start somewhere ahead of the target's course and click. Draw back to the target, click at the target, then drag the line out to your sub. Read the angle, that's the AOB.

3. If you know the target's course, you can acutally dial that without even thking too much about AOB. Look at the top dial on the TDC. Look at the little 0 at the front of the ship. Line that 0 up with the target's true course on the outer ring by altering the AOB angle dial on the right. You've just set the AOB.

AOB is just if you were standing on the bow of the target ship, what is the relative bearing to your sub?
