I see the auto-speed function of the chronometer does't appear to be fixed as it was in SH3. Now, I put forward this for your consideration as a proposal:

Guys to be 100% clear...I don't have SH4 and I know the stopwatch works in the game. What I mean is if it is meant to work like in SH3 I think it is not terribly useful.
In SH3 what you do with the notepad is with periscope up and locked on the target you click the stop watch and let it tick ...longer the better...click again and you get the speed and click the tickmark to send in to the TDC.
Now since you have to keep the scope up the whole time locked on target my experience is I am spotted if I try to keep a reasonable time to get a good speed estimate. If I keep it up only for 10 seconds or so the speed is off and I miss. That's what I don't like about it. Now if the chronometer would work if you lock the target, put scope down, up and mark and lock the same target after at least a couple of minutes and "automatically" get the speed that would be great for usability and immersion.

I don't want something that gets me spotted but also something that gives me (I don't mind working speed out myself actually, pretty easy with the 3 min rule or the use of the various table of bearing change vs. time and slide rules around) a reasonably accurate speed.
What do you all think?
