However, does this only work for certain angles on bow? Are there any conditions where this method won't work?
Thinking about it, if you've got a really shallow or really steep wide angle on bow then surely a ship of given length will take less time to transit your scope than it would with a AoB of 90?
Is the U-jagd only accurate for for AoB of 90? Or is it just a case of being less accurate the further you get from 90?

Careful using that "have your scope up for a long time while you determine target speed" method around a convoy with competent escorts.
Having said that you won't find many such escorts in the game.
