I use the watch officer to give me 'closest visual contact' range and bearing at 3 min 15 sec intervals, and mark them out on the map. This gives me speed, range and bearing, everything I need to get 500 m and at 90 deg from the projected path of my target. I then manually insert range and AOB, and wait for the target to approach. At a full stop, I can risk raising my scope and take a close-up stadimeter range finding if I feel that my position is not ideal. At +/- 1000m the stadimeter is accurate enough to give you a good range estimate. Remember, you can use the observation scope's 4.5 magnification if you feel that the 10x mag of the attack scope is not the best for the situation.

- but the best target is a non-moving target. I am currently betting the lives of 50 German sailors that Southend is nod properly defended. Fette Beute!
