I don't know how you guys calculate speed at the last minute without using Pause.

I generally use the matching speed method if I am on the surface. But this depends a lot on the visibility.
The tables already have the speed calculation done ahead of time. What you end up doing at the last minute is just finding the best match on the table with the seconds on the stopwatch and then adjusting the speed dial on the TDC in the conning tower before opening the tube and getting back on the periscope to launch the torp.
