Default Shooting the Ships

Hello everyone, me again, sorry

I've just started a career on realistic difficulty and am quite enjoying it. The fine balance between fuel CO2 and batteries is fun

However,
I have never shot torpedo's manually before. I can kinda get my heard around angle on bow as I just use the arrow on the circle to point from which direction I can see the ship. Identifying the ship takes a while but isn't an issue really. My major issue is measuring range and speed.

I use the stadimeter to measure the range of the ship but no matter how close the ship is when I line the two "images" up correctly, it always reads a distance of 20000m when it's more like 1000m. This was in rough seas and I found it extremely difficult with the UZO and difficult with periscopes both bobbing around.

As for speed, I don't even know where to start.

Any advice please? this is with Open Horizons, IRAI and dynamic enviroment.

Thank you Kaleuns, good hunting!
