I pulled the stadimeter triangle all the way down. Firing bearing was 165. Anyway I shot at 900 yards...all three...bow/middle/stern and missed. It was night with rough seas and I didn't see whether I missed ahead or astern.
I figure one of two issues....firing bearing should've been 175 not 165 (?) or AOB should be set to 180 - lead angle when shooting stern tubes (?). I've never seen that in any instruction, so, maybe I'm overanalyzing.
What did I do wrong?

That method applies to one variable at 90AOb and I am using the solution solver by Cory Heart making a chart of firing angles .. you have to double click your intital settings , and verify the torpedo track on the attack chart . No misses will occur if you set the position of the firing solution on your scope .. SH4 is fairly easy compared to SH5 TWos but i love the fine adjustments in In Sh5
