Ausdampfverfahren works regardless of whether in front or not- you only need to achieve a constant bearing to calc the speed variable. Seaman’s eye is the only other way I am aware of beyond these. This was done very much, accurately and at crazy ranges - the torpedo firing reports at uboatarchive.net show Teddy Suhren as 1WO firing from the UZO from 4000 m and hitting - in the part of the report asking for how the shooting data was obtained- “by estimation”(!!!!). I need to practice.....
