I tried the setup twice and both times I missed waaaay aft. After the second time I looked closer at the TDC and noticed that the bearing to target on the TDC was way behind what sonar was calling out. So in that moment I again I tried sending range and bearing to the TDC. Range updated, but bearing remained 7 degrees behind what sonar was calling out.

Clearly there’s a step or logic flaw I’m missing on getting the correct bearing to the TDC via sonar only. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

you did great right up to the point of firing.

turn off the PK before your last bearing/distance/AOB check and then fire.

if you have done everything correctly to that point you should get a hit.

question: with the target zig-zagging, why not set the Mk14 to high speed?
