More study required there.
Commanders were provided with MDv 416, which included among many others the following table for estimating speed by this method.

Hey derstosstrupp good evening..
I looked for MDv 416, it is indeed the manual given to the commander of Uboat MDv number 416..would you be kind enough to provide more links on it...... strange I can't find much...
I agree... in terms of the boat, it is impossible to stabilize it perfectly still... the attack and always in motion... the design of the building. ..physical laws required..besides the Germans are pioneers of the genre...a fantastic engineering...just look at the anatomical structure of the type 7 hull...far exceeds what is done in the genre of the time (a shark made for hunting)... all this without counting the evolution throughout the conflict... besides the enemies are eager to steal all this knowledge... especially on types 21... the rest of the story we know it...I criticized the American submarines John Pancoast did not appreciate it...lol...hihi
My best regards, I greatly appreciate your work as well as your YT channel...
