Double check your Poster.. some speeds wrong in-game RecMan

IIRC I was tracking a Large Merchant Tanker and he was moving fairly well. The in-game recognition manual said it's maximum speed was 12 knots. After taking a 3 minute speed check, I got 12 knots. I set target speed to 12 knots.

He must've spotted my scope right when I was firing. He actually sped up past 12 knots bow wake kicking up and all. A quick check said he got up to 18 knots and probably still increasing.

Anyway.. double check either the manual or the poster on speeds. The manual and poster said it can do 20 knots while the in-game Recognition Manual said 12.

If that's true, it sounds like "reality"

In reality, I suppose draght depth should vary by load and they probably didn't set course with precision of single degree, range and velocity estimation shouldn't have been presice as we do with in-game map tools. For realism buff.
