Obtaining accurate speed estimates from map plots

gi_dan2987 · 02-01-12, 10:50 PM

I'm a 100% realism player. That means absolutely no map contact updates to form torp solutions. When I use the stadimeter to obtain two range/bearing readings, then click the clock icon for speed/course, I usually get values that are off a good deal in accuracy. So unless I'm firing from close proximity, I don't have very good hit percentages. Now when I use map tools to plot stuff, there's a margin of error there too, which doesn't affect the course so much as the differences in range throws the speed calculations way off. Is there any way to obtain accurate speed estimates?
