For example instead of hit at the center my shot went to the funnel of that little tanker.
I'm still wondering what I do wrong, but could that discovery of pisces could be the reason or is it me doing still something wrong?
My workaround for my next mission (april 40) is to add always a knot to the estimated target speed.

Here you can find a link to an excel file with the mathematically correct values.

Try it instead of reading the speed from the scales.
As Hitman stated the Chrono is not absolutely accurate.
Why ...
100m in 100 seconds = 3,6 km/h speed.
To get knots you have to divide by 1,852, but what the manufacturer of this U-Jagd chrono did, was to cancel the last two digits.
He dividided 3,6 by 1.8
(52) equals 2. This makes the result a little bit inaccurate. And the scales looked much more pretty 2 3 4 lined up in a row.

The purpose this chrono was originally built for was not so sensitive and this little error caused no problem.
It seems as if it was orignally intended to hunt Subs. (U-Jagd is german marine slang and means ASW)
It had something to do with depthcharges, but I dont know exactly.
