Looks like you are using the stedimeter right.

The three minute rule is very good for speed but since you are using metric the rule is 3 minutes and 15 seconds not 3 min. even. That would give you a speed of more than 21Kn so I think your range and bearing data is off.

In your screen shot there is a circle of 2100 meters and your sub is outside the circle so the range to target should have been something like 2500 m. or so. In the second SS the PK shows 1136 m so something is wrong.

You shoot my 10° bearing shot and missed behind says that you had the speed of 8Kn. wrong. Using the auto plot speed thing is not very accurate. For a speed of 21Kn. put the scope to about 20 to 22° and try that.

You have picked a very tough target to learn manual targeting with 100% realism. Fast moving warship, clear sky and calm water.

You might try a single patrol and turn map contacts on and get the feel of manual targeting and how the TDC/PK work. That way you can check your firing solution on the attack map. Get a little experience and than come back and put the CV under.
