1) I enjoy manual targeting but i find it hard to get accurate data. Can you give me an easy way to acquire better data please? (my hit percentage with manual is probably only 15-25%  ) I have looked at videos on Youtube but find them hard to use.

I assume you do manual targeting with the notepad. Since it's hard to say how you can do better if we do not know how you do it now. The Notepad method requires you to make a good ID of the target, measure the range quite well, and similarly the AOB. If you got the wrong values (not as exact as they should be), then the speed measurement will be off because it is dependant on those values.
Alternatively you might consider ploting the positions of the target and measure the course and speed from those. While you are trying to get ahead of the target, keep your distance to the side to not get noticed. (Even if you do get noticed it isn't so bad, as long as they do not have destroyers nearby.)
Here is an old but classic topic by Dantenoc explaining how you can use plotting to set up manual targeting:
