About the 3.15 methode the Bilge Rat teached me this:

''1) identify target and determine mast height;
2) measure mast height in number of Horizontal Bars on the scope;

you can then measure the range based on a formula, for example with Arclight's MRP, the formula is:

1.5x - MastHeight x 100 / horizontal bars = Range

6x - MastHeight x 400 / horizontal bars = Range

for example, a Liberty Ship has a mast height of 27.1 meters, if the measured height is 4 bars at 6x, the range would be 2,710 meters.

i.e. 27.1 x 400= 10,840 divided by 4= 2,710 meters.''

Honestly i never tryied the 3.15 methode

Thanks. I'll try this new range method. As far as the 3 minute, 15 second rule, I've tried it in SH5 and it seems to work. If you can mark a targets position...wait 3min, 15sec...mark target's position again and then measure the distance between the two points. The first two number of the distance between the two points is your speed. For example, if the distance is 3,500 meters then your speed is 3.5knots. If the distance is 10,000 meters then the speed is 10knots.
