Hi Gustav

To be fair at the moment I am using 'updates' as an option in my career, but will try and use the 'plotting method' mod when I'm confident enough. I'm sure this timing method can still be used but maybe takes longer to find the target direction and range estimates for that final speed. There's also the method of placing periscope on the bow, and starting the chronometer and stopping it once the stern has passed. I'm still learning how to play this fantastic subsim.
