Some more manual targeting questions.

That's right, you cannot know the speed if you don't have a range. And most time to observe speed accurately depends on how accurate the range is. What they're saying is you don't have to need to set the accurate range in TDC, and it doesn't mean you never need the range. You DO need the range, and as accurate as possible.

BTW, I'm interested in how people handle multiple targets at a time with these methods. And in real life, it seems dead stop waiting is not practical (difficult to keep the depth) when submerged. And when on surface, the German U-boat commander book suggest not to stay but always move, and I haven't yet read a story in which the commander waiting and lurking at the ideal fireing spot. Then, doing this realistically means everything is in motion and it doesn't seem too easy unless you can get VERY close.
