help please anyone.

many thanks.
approach your target with low speed (maybe 2 knots), if it closed in to a range lower than 3000 meters, make distance measures using the stadimeter, repeat that at least 3 times, with at least 30 seconds time in between the measures. After that, you should get a good "estimated" speed using the XO targeting dialog (estimate target speed function).

accuracy depends on own speed, distance, and time in between the measures, dont forget to set the targets relative (from your view`s) bow position (AOB) correctly, fire if the target enter a 80 to 90 deg position.
