As to the speed measures, this method is quite innacurate and you coul obtain better speed information in some ways (Wazoo's manual targeting manual describes the most acurate method of getting target speed, but this is mainly tor these who decide to do it only manually).

If you use the games method, keep in mind that your own boat should never move while taking the target's speed. The faster you move, the more innacurate the measure. Even at 2 knots you'll get weird results, unless you aim your bow right towards the target (but in this case it's still better just stop for a while).
