Welcome. I have played SH3 on manual since it came out. I can tell you with experience this...
Forget range. When you are just learning manual, range is an extra step that simply adds to the stress of planning your attack. AOB and speed of target is what centers your shot!
If AOB or speed are off by even a hair, this can throw your calculations off!
Start off by learning to identify key AOB pictures. You should know what a ships 90, 0, and 45 degree AOB looks like by sight.
This can help with speeding up your calculations.
I only use range in convoys when I want to time my explosions.
Hope this helps.
