Do you think illustrations would help or is the language just impossible to understand? Pointers honestly solicited here. I want this to be easy.

The O'Kane method is very good, but doesn't fit every situation. Personally I think knowing the basics of manual targeting and being able to come up with a good firing solution in any situation should be learned first. Know how the TDC works, know how adjusting the 3 variables, range/bearing, AOB, and speed alter where the torpedo is going. Be able to recognize when your solution is lagging or ahead of the target and know why it is and how to fix it. Once you know the "fundamentals" as it were, then learning the O'Kane method is a very good idea.
