a basic question really, but I could not find the answer in the manual or in a quick search on the forum.

Without an easy way to determine target speed, you need every help you can get when doing manual TDC.

From data\cfg\contacts.cfg

[ContactSpeeds]
;less than each value means (in this order): stationary, slow, medium and fast speed ; over the last value means very fast speed
Merchant=0.1,8,12,35 ;[kts]
Warship=0.1,8,19,35 ;[kts] including uboats
Air=0.1,8,19,35 ;[kts]
Convoy=0.1,8,12,35 ;[kts]

so slow, medium, fast:
-merchants: 1-7, 8-11, 12-35;
-warships: 1-7, 8-18, 19-35;
-convoy: 1-7, 8-11, 12-35;

these numbers are slightly different, which are the correct ones?

"+21 after the first attack" means after my sub has been detected?

what about the slow, medium targets, do they speed up?
