Ever since I joined in February this year I've been constantly trying to learn new ways to play Silent Hunter 4 at a high realism. I am now able to play at level 90 realism but I still have Map Contacts Update on (I want to turn this off and play at 100).

AoB:
I currently use three methods in obtaining AoB.

Using my eyes (estimation)
Protractor (obviously this won't work at 100 if I'm not mistaken)
Crew estimation of speed and target's course

I was wondering if there's a much easier and more accurate way of determining AoB. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Target's Speed:
I use two methods for this one.

Crew estimation
Target's distance covered in 3 minutes (Authentic Units)

The problem for me with the first method is that it's not always accurate - torpedoes most of the time always miss. For the second one, obviously I can't do that with 100 realism using the map.

As always, any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I've tried learning from this but it involves pausing the game and a calculator to play so...yeah. Its a pretty good guide but not for me.

Have a few mods installed:
TMO
RSRDC
OTC
ISE
Trav's Mod.

Cheers guys. Keep lurking.
