I have concluded that peabody's analysis does not resolve my issue.

Here is the problem:

contact target within range on the Nav map

plot location of target

activate stopwatch for a 3 minute period during which time I switch to periscope view and arm the torpedoes

acitvate Nav map. Note the stopwatch is not visibile so you must click the X button to view it and check stopwatch time for purposes of target distance over a 3 minute run time.

At 3 minutes, plot the targets position on the Nav. Map. Switch screens to Periscope view and set target's speed.

Click on Nav. Map and plot the target's course with the ruler tool open. stopwatch running but not visible. switch to periscope screen and enter course on TGT dial. Stopwatch still not visible.

When speed, AoB, etc are set, return to Nav map. for second speed reading if necessary. Click on tthe X button so the stopwatch becomes visible again, check time or reset stopwatch. Repeat the stopwatch process if you switch to periscope of Attack Map view, or need to calculate target speed a second time.

Why add extra steps of clicking on the X button multiple times to view the stopwatch? If someone makes a mod, you can close the stopwatch if it gets in the way.

Modders front and center if they are interested.
