Sooo, I just had my first encounter with a Grosser cargo and this new exiting feature about random speeds.
During the overhaul I plotted the target 8 times in 40 minutes (5 min intervals). These are not 100% exact values, but they show the difference in target speed pretty well IMO. Range to target stayed between 16000 and 14000 meters.
0 - 5 mins: target travelled 1.2 km -> speed 7.8 knots
5 - 10 mins:0.6 km -> 4 knots
10 -15 mins: 1 km -> 6.5 knots
15 -20 mins: 0.7 km ->4.6 knots
20 - 25 mins: 1.6 km -> 10.5 knots
25 - 30 mins: 1.0 km -> 6.5 knots
30 - 35 mins: 1.2 km -> 7.8 knots
35 - 40 mins: 1.0 km -> 6.5 knots
Travelled distance for the target was about 8 km's during this.
Altho the idea of having random speeds is excellent, I was surprised to see how quickly and short intervals it (speed) actually changes. It gave me an image of drunken captain yanking the telegraph on the bridge of that cargo ship. Perhaps longer times per speed change would suit better? Hard to tell, like I said, this was my first attack against anything with this mod.
Oh, I did a port side double shot with 2 degree cover angle from 700 meters, AOB was around 75 degrees. One hit, one missed her aft (I think). This mod makes attacking more difficult for sure.
