So in your example, if you would be running directly parallel to a ship, same course, same speed, and you have them on your 90°, the AOB will be 90° port, because the ships captain will see your sub if he looks out of his left window. Hope I could help.
Perfect, thanks!

I was having trouble with a convoy, my distance was the biggest factor in me missing after having replayed it a few times.

While in the end I managed only to manage to hit one ship (a European Liner, 19000 tons), it was still super satisfying!
