FINISHED: Silent Shark AOB Recognition Challenge (July 2-9)

Congrats Haju05 for winning this contest with a stunning 898 points!!!


The last update included a whole new "Angle-on-Bow" Recognition Trainer (available in the main menu).

What is "Angle-on-Bow"?

Angle-on-Bow (AOB) is the angle between a ship's bow (the direction it's pointing) and your line of sight to it. It's always given as Port or Starboard, for example 40° Port or 110° Starboard. Correctly estimating AOB is one of the key skills needed for accurate manual torpedo attacks.

Tips for estimating AOB

  • Check the masts and rigging for how far they are apart.

  • The identification book provides only a perfect side view - note how far this is different from your current view.

  • Use the manual practicing mode to learn the effect of different angles on different ships

  • Recognize your own bias - if you find yourself consistently underguessing the AOB, adapt!

How does the challenge work?

Take the quiz with "vary ships" ON and the range set to 2000 yards. Post your best score in our Discord channel #silent-shark-aob-highscores for fame and glory!

I found an original recording of the USS Sealion making an attack run, so mirror the callouts based on that. This includes things like "Time to target" and lots of other…Community22 Aug 2026v1.0.2 "Quality of Life" Update is out!Releasing a big update today with a lot of awesome stuff - lots of it as a result of ideas and feedback by all of you.
