Why is the time 3 minutes 15 seconds used for working out speed and not any other times?
Because the distance in metres covered in that time can be directly converted to knots just dividing by 100, f.e. 5000 metres = aprox 5 knots

So if you can measure with the map ruler the distance the enemy covered in 3.15 minutes, you have an easy conversion available
