I have never had any issues cause by the inaccuracy of the ruler and have a hit rate of around 90%.
I am also reasonably quick with my scoping and go for a good range measure not a 100% precise one. Near enough is good enough.
For new players I strongly recommend pausing the game and marking off the range and bearing. When you get more familiar with the process and come to have a better feel for how much time you have you will find that for the most part you will not need topause to plot but mark off the u-boats position to draw a line from.
What I do do is to take many range measurements (upwards of 5 for a single ship is not uncommon) and through this the averages of the range plots I am normally within 1 knot of the correct speed. Most of the time.
