Seems to me RFB had a different way of scope measurements, but can't say, have you tried posting in the RFB mod forum and asking. That's just a guess, maybe someone here that plays RFB knows. Overall, it appears your doing the steps correctly, so that tells me info is off somewhere.
I'm more confused by these so called speed changes you see, they just don't happen unless the enemy knows you're there and goes into zigs and almost always slows down a few knots. I've never seen the speed changes you describe playing RSRD, except when after an attack and the group breaks up ships may hit many different speeds when they regroup. Course if they see your torp wake they'll adjust to dodge it. Sometimes groups change speed with a new course leg, but not go into different speeds.
