If the X is closer to your sub than the target, the range is short. If it's farther than the target, the range is long. The target and the X both have a line indicating the heading. If you get the AOB correct, they'll be pointing the same way (if you're really good, the X and heading will be right over the target). For speed, observe the X and the target. Remember where they are, relative to each other. Take another look after a few seconds. If the X is moving ahead, your speed estimate is too fast. If the X is falling behind the target, speed is to low.

If the X is nowhere near the target, moving in the wrong direction, you're using my method. It doesn't work too well.
