Works quite well, too.

 Thats the method I use as well. I never bother with the TDC, just ID the target get his speed manually with the stopwatch & shoot. Although some of the erroneous ship lengths can cause a problem.

How did you manage to ID the target before you pulled the trigger?:hmm:
Those destroyer Captains may not have been the only one with explaining to do.

I came across an Aussie Merchant in what I thought to be deep in enemy waters in heavy fog. I was setup for the kill, ready to shoot when I thought "I best get a better look at that flag". Went to flank at P/D & had to get less than 300 ft before I could make it out. OOPS. Closed outer doors, lowered Peri and went deep below my unsuspecting ally. I thought that was a nice touch for the sake of realism.
