C2 Merchant.............................6units....... ..12units
C3 Merchant.............................7units....... ..14units
I had a chart for all ships and ranges, but I accidently threw it away, and have been procrastinating on redoing it.

Dude, you're my hero!!
Although, at 0 AoB isn't it a little late to shoot? More useful for convoy encounters I'd imagine.
I've found determining course and speed so I can setup a Fast 90 shot is more valuable than the actual distance, as the torpedos travel so fast that when you're close enough to actually get distance with the statometer you're within 4k anyway.
However, I suck at determining course...
