The inability to manually input speed was always my biggest pet peave with this game, until now of couse. (Thanks Munchausen!)
Did you mean range?

but again, the speed needs (and can be) narrowed down to the 1/4 maybe even 1/10 knt. A half knot on a 3000 yard shot is the difference between a miss and a kill. 1/10 a knt off and you may not hit exactly where you are aiming. Again, I'm talking precision here.
You can solve it to 100th of a knot but the TDC only accepts whole knots so the only speed refining that I can see anyone doing is rounding up or down to the nearest knot. Am I missing something?

Well, keep in mind that sonar is picking up the rear (propellor) end of the boat. Not taking that into account can cause a miss astern. You need to lead him a bit when using sonar.
Does the game account for this? I thought I read somewhere that sound is hardwired into the game at the center of the ship.
