Hitman has extensively researched these tools (and much much more - he's a walking u-boat encyclopedia
) and IIRC according to him:
The chrono speed-finding method and Range/AOB-Finder tool are both 100% historically accurate (the Range/AOB Finder was literally laid over the scope as you see it in the screenshot above). However IRL the Range/AOB finder was only used to find the AOB; although it could just as easily be used to find range, the german u-boats in WW2 had a more accurate method: the split prism scope stadimeter (which you've probably seen in SH4). However a split prism stadimeter mod for SH3 is probably not possible without an SDK (and would anyway certainly be out of the scope of this mod) so the Range/AOB finder is used instead.
