I use http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=111998 as tutorial, but i have the Lenght of the Ship not in my Recognition Book, and without the Lenght its not possible to calculate. How do i find out how long the enemy ship is? The Enemy should be an Otori class escort Destroyer.
This is why you shot a spread of fish. Even as good as it was it was not exact to the foot. I guesstimate. I time how far a ship moves in a given time frame. How fast the fish are and how far they will go on their speed and try to mentally triangulate the intercept.

This is especially useful in storms using radar with visual range at danger close. I plot their course, get their speed and fire a spread. I sank the Yamato North West of Truk doing that once.
