The devs confirmed there are bugs and fixes are in next update.

My plot process is to determine target course and speed and plot that out ahead with 10 minute estimated target positions for at least an hour.

In this case I was confirming some trigonometry and learning Gutted’s Solver so I plotted the tutorial solution out ahead an hour and started my end around.

10 minute looks for the first 30 minutes were precisely on the estimated positions in bearing and range, confirming the original speed.

I then fired a long range torpedo (4000 meters) and scored a hit.

Subsequent 10 minute looks were wrong in bearing and my close range speed checks using time to pass the wire (124 meter Type 44 HF) and time to go 10 degrees indicated the ship had slowed after the torpedo hit but the show solution still indicated 3.4 knots.

A 90 AOB/ 3.4 knot zero gyro angle TDC salvo sent two fish ahead of the target, indicating 3.4 was fast.
