That and I find myself that i am very good at eyeing range and AOB of course I earned the marksman rib in the Air Force and ditto the Army and when I got checked over by the docs at MEPS when I first enlisted I scored so well on the deapth preception test the guy made me do it 3 times

I envy you
, however your ability to judge distance, AOB and speed in the game is probably thanks to natural intuitiveness and practice rather than through depth perception, which actually doesn't exist in a 2D screen. There are people with a natural ability to discern from teh rate of approach and subtle changes in proportions such thing, you must be one of those gifted ones, congrats
Now, the relevant paragraph from the U-Boat commander's handbook:
Quote:
98.) The speed of the enemy can best be calculated from the position forward of the beam. In calculating the speed, attention should be paid to the water at the stern rather than to the sea near the bows, because, if the shape of the bows is narrow (pointed), the visible effect of the progress of the ship is often very slight. In addition, it is more difficult to camouflage the stern (i.e., so as to create the impression of movement, etc.). In estimating the enemy's speed, his course in relation to the direction of the waves, as well as the change of bearing, should be taken into consideration.
