Here is the link for the excel spreadsheet....hope I did this right.

The time the target will take to travel through your crosshair is always the same, no matter the AOB (Except if he's heading to or away from you, i.e. AOB 0 or 180). It might seem wrong, but it isn't, the only difference is that if you see the ship sideways (90º AOB) it might look as if it goes faster, but the overall time it will take to go through is exactly the same. The only problem is when the angle is too sharp and you no longer can measure it correctly, but those are situations where you would fire your torpedo either "Down the throat" or "Up the keel", and the torpedo will always be faster than the target, so no problem either.

There probably is a threshold AOB where the beam of the vessel has an enough of an impact to make the length "look" longer than it is thus possibly distorting the results.....
I do love the way of calculating speed though.....quick and efficient
