Periscope ranging seems ridiculous....

I'm currently playing:
TMO 2.1
RSRDC 5xx patch 1

I came upon a convoy with a Hiryu type carrier. Couldn't have been a sweeter approach too. Night, decent vis, slight chop on the water. I took a bazillion ranges and charted them. They all looked halfway decent but I could never get a decent speed solution. It varied anywhere from 6 to 10 knots. These were all manual calculations, I never use the button to find it. I took 4 shots. Nevermind that 3 prematurely detonated (not the point of this thread). I missed way behind so he was either much faster or further away than I had ranged him. So I cheated and reloaded. Further ranges showed him almost 700 yards closer. I'm pretty confused. SH 3 always seemed to be much better at periscope ranging. Any mods that work with TMO and RSRDC to fix this?
