It's possible ships do speed up. Start shooting spreads from the front towards the back or try adjusting speed up about .5-1kt for the first shot if within 2000 yards, then adjust back down to your correct speed setting. That will usually hold the ship in place from speeding up. You will still probably get a hit. Study the thread skipper bag of tricks and learn to shoot by the wire at parts of ships.
Another helpful tool for stad measurments is Maxoptics and SCAF mod. You get better magnification and easier stad marking points, instead of using the highest mast, you often use funnels, decks, ect..as marking points.
Using the 3 minute rule isn't a cheat. This is basically the same info those on plot would be using, we just have to do it a lil different because we lack some sub function and tools.
