Passive intercept range estimation

(God damn that huge picture!)
The skippers of real submarines are often - I dare trust without knowing firsthand - very smart.
Only at 3:00 in the morning yesterday, lying awake in bed, could I figure out how the Typhoon in RSR (I assume it was in that book) could fake its turn.
Well, I haven't really found that out yet, I'm just assuming that it combined turning and change in speed to make the impression for the enemy TMA operators that its turning was different than it actually was.
I mean, real skippers are bloody smart. And not just smart! They have an entire crew subordinate to them that are calculating this and everything, at all times, providing information for him/her to use.

In my eyes, it is not cheating if one to a degree simulates all this through calculations and third-hand instruments, as long as it stays within the capacity of a real skipper. Trust is essential in MP.
The excellent skippers are those who are able to do as much of these calculations in their own heads, on the spot, without much help.
