Also, how do you guys get a course? Once i have a few plot point's i just use the compass with the ruler and figure the course out with that but i never get it perfectly accurate. I saw someone using a different method so i figure I'm probably butchering the process.
I've got it down accurate enough to fire on someone with only very minor visual adjustment's via periscope once they are in range regardless, which is still fantastic. Again, props Nisgeis!

I am too tired to give an explanation of the Nomograph. It is easy and someone can post a screenshot that will explain it.
As for true course, it is very easy. Assume you have two plots of range and bearing that are accurate. Open the compass/ruler tool and drag the tool from the first plot to the second plot. You will note that the compass is is part of the open tool. Read where the line you have drawn intersects the compass as you drag it -- that is the true course. E.g. A line running from east to west (i.e. from 270 degrees to 90 degrees is on a course of 90 degrees. A ship on traveling on that line has a relative heading of 0 degrees and a true course of 90 degrees. Note that the line on the compass/ruler tool intersects the compass at 90 degrees.) See the screenshot by Bowfin and note where the line intersects the compass. The intersection point is the true course.
