The truly great skippers could look at a ship and guesstimate everything at a glance, and like as not be close enough to get the job done.

I must be closing in on "truly great".
I'm running 100% realism. There are so many entries in the ship manual that I almost never bother trying to thumb through and find them. I only really use them for escorts to determine their draft so that I can slide a mag torpedo under them when they are chasing me. But there are a lot less escorts in the warship book.
But for merchants, I just guess the speed, usually 5-7 knots, and get to within 500 meters and let them have it.
