well you guys are very technical about all this plotting lol i just draw a line along their course and double there speed, so a ship going at 8 Kts travels 16Km(an overestimate but its good to arrive early) then work out roughly when i will intercept that ship based on my distance (i always use full for intercepts far enough away, flank gives you 1-2 extra Kts for alot of fuel waste). once i get there, just dive and listen. i should get there ahead or right on time if i wasn't far away which can throw off your angles which are given to you very roughly
