Dick O'Kane Targeting - I did something wrong!
Experienced player here, but my first time using the Dick O'Kane targeting method. I fired three torpedo's and missed!
Target was a freighter, course 280, speed 8.5 knots. My course was 10....stern tubes facing. I chose a lead angle of 15....AOB was set to starboard 75. 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? |
