You don't actually need a "maneuvering board", either. Graph paper (or even plain paper) will work just as well if you have a protractor & ruler. Many very complex maneuvering problems can be solved relatively easily this way.

Thank you, I think this helps and points to right direction. Will try some of the methods in game next time I spot a ship.

I normally will draw bearing lines from ownship out to the range of the target. Do it again a few minutes later, do it a third time a few more minutes later (you could do it every 3 minutes to get a direct estimate of speed or every 5 minutes and use a nomograph). You can then drawing a line of advance from first to last bearing/range to get the targets course.
If you are trying to do it while submerged, you can always take a look at the 4-bearing method - lots of plotting involved.

I play with map contacts off, the problem is if you move your ships while doing the measuring and drawing you need to take that in the account as well.
