I too was having problem getting bearing and range plots to measure accurately. Two tips. 10,000 yd. - 15,000 yd. range is much easier to plot than longer ranges. (The computer screen is just not big enough to handle the larger distances.) If you are ahead of the target, adjust to slow speed. This will provide you more time to take readings and plot before your crew spots the target visually, and your sub's speed will not foul up the range by traveling to far between the time you take range and bearing readings and plot them. This helped me.
