Ridiculous Target Speeds

[Cathy Howat]

My tracking party will often give a target speed of say 359 kts or another similarly high number,, is there a fix for this?

I'm guessing you are talking about the built-in crew assist function?

It has the reputation of being inaccurate. I would recommend relying on your own plot, but if you use the game function, you should wait several minutes between fixes to get a semblance of accuracy.

Never seen that even with stock. Seen them call out in the 50 kt range before but I was giving wrong info

I think those guys have been at the gilly juice!. Will do my own estimates

I think the shorter the time span one uses, the less accurate the result. At least, with 359 kts, you know it's not right.

Not even if the merchant was a Cunarder, and the destroyer an Italian WW2 destroyer

Yup, the time between the last two range stadimeter measurements was too short. AND/OR you goofed up big time with the range measurement.

Listen to the man. He knows of what he speaks.
