To put that in perspective...

1000m is only about 0.5Nmi which is an error of only 10%. Everything doesn't have to be perfect to ten decimal places. You're in the ball park. That's good enough to shoot on. The interesting thing about naval warfare, and ASW in particular is that you're reasoning in the face of uncertainty. Part of the challenge of the game is in managing uncertainty so that you can make better decisions.
