So if its current distance is 5000m and its at 6 degrees AoB (close to directly against you) it will be 500m out of you at 90 AoB.
  • 1000m if it has 12 AoB
  • 1500m - 18AoB
  • ... and so on

You can set distance to TDC in advance and leave it

If it has more than 30 AoB, its not by 0.1 every 6 degrees anymore, you has to look into sine tables
Good to know! Many thanks!
