100% with map contacts update. Iīve played without map contacts, but without them I got tremendous errors in the calculations with the TDC, unfortunately a not very useful tool. So I got bored of that and began to use a time/distance table that allows me to get quite accurate estimations about the target speed.
So you measure the distance between the perfect map updates and use a lookup table for a TSD solution? Where'd those GWX pull down tables come from anyway? I guess they don't really bother me... I just ignore em.
When I spot a target or a convoy, I zoom the map to 50 meters, make a cross with the pencil tool in the bow of the target icon and switch on the chronometer. The time meausres can be 30, 60, 90 or 120 seconds. When time has passed, I make another mark in the new position of the target bow. Then I measure the distance between the two marks with the compass tool and I get the approximate distance travelled by the target.

Example: 200 meters travelled in 60 seconds: target speed=6,48 knots.

The system is not, of course, 100% accurate (who wants a 100% chance of hitting the enemy?) but gives you a reasonable/high chance of getting a hit.
