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.

uh huh...
Yeah, I'd say it gives you pretty close to 100% accuracy... may just as well turn on auto-targetting. You're allowing God-eye mode to give you the target true course.
The real test of a tracking party is in determining target true course and speed passively.
