I have found that Estimate Speed Button(ESB) to be accurate enough for the job..but I always back it up with an estimate from map plotting...just to be safe.

The accuracy of the ESB is directly related to the accuracy of your range estimates. My speed estimates via ESB calculations are almost always within 1 KPH of my map plot estimates.

And no I don't use stabalize view either...nor do I use any mod that greatly exaggerates the roll and pitch of the boat to unmanagable ingame proportions to create a false feeling of "realism".


One trick I use if the seas are too stormy to get good range estimates is to raise the keel depth a few feet above standard periscope depth. In most instances just a few feet will suffice to get a good measurement without undue risk of detection.
