[REL] My tutorial for 100% realism manual targeting

Maybe I'm retarded, but tell me, please, how to measure target's speed when angle on bow is not 90 degrees or similar. I've been reading your manual and appreciate it very much, it actually made me try manual TDC and I find each hit very rewarding. But let's say I got a convoy in sight, go a bit before them so that I have the possibility to make a nice shot abeam. So I place myself before them a bit ,let's say, on the left side looking from the enemy's perspective, so they are moving from my right to left. AoB is ca 60 degrees, range is such and such. How to check their speed? I don't see them from 90 AoB, so I can't see the whole lenght of the enemy vessel, but i see it from some angle. How can I estimate if he has traveled his distance equal to his lenght seeing it from angle not equal to 90 or even similar? I know that shooting from a big angle is much less accurate, but every opportunity to estimate speed is useful.

once again much thanks for the manual, just got 3 ships in a Borneo quick mision as a practice
