Forget automatic speed input... Only use the botepad for last minute range aob adjustments!

And you could try a trip with god's eye view.. (map updates on) so you can see what you did wrong: aob wrong side... range or speed incorrect.

Hmm now I understand your problem!

you have got an incorrect AOB! The AOB is the angle at wich the enemy captain needs to look to spot your submarine.
So if the captain has to look to 45° starboard (right) then the aob is 45° right (green). No matter at what angle your periscope (uzo) is looking!
