hi Avers, and welcome to sh3
if you mean what to do if the time is more than 200 minutes... in GWX you have 2 draggable speedcharts in the top left corner of the navmap. nr 1 is a conversion for knots to KM over several hours
so you can very easily work out how far your target will travel in, say, 6 hours
conversely you can work out its exact speed if you track its movement over time.
practice in the early war years. attacking from periscope depth at sunset or sunrise are excellent ways to stay hidden and have a good view of the battlefield, that's how i got myself familiar with manual targeting and escort evasion, also it helps to get a 'feel' for what they can and can not see.
then again... i just attacked a convoy in december '39 on the surface and the sun started to come up.... there i was not 2000 meters away from the outer column with my pants down. quite an embarressment when HMS Rodney opened fire on me from within the convoy.
and yet... another great gaming experience, especially when i managed to get myself back to base still in one piece
