Hi

Just reinstalled SHIII after a 12 year absence and it shows.
I'm having some problems with Manual Targeting using the Periscope.

I identify target ship using recognition manual.
I range the target using the Stadimeter.
I am setting AOB for 90degrees as only doing beam shots at the moment and only firing when right in front of my tubes
Now speed is one of the issues. Start timer and stop timer and I am getting some crazy speeds in excess of 200kts sometimes.
Another issue i'm having is a did the Courageous quick mission and speed given was 20 kts. When I fired the torps they seemed to go straight rather than veer towards where a 20kt ship should be?

My SHIII is vanilla with no mods.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
