Manual targeting?

In my opinion, when dealing with "overtaking" a convoy, you need to be able to use the UZO correctly. As Von Due stated you need to know a general course of the convoy and speed.

You can't use nearest visual target as this usually is an escort, and the move around too much, and change speed often.

Pick a target as "reference" in the convoy, use the range lines on the UZO, and determine the range. This does not have to be entirely accurate as you want a general course. Mark it on your map and do this every so often.

Mast height X 1000 / (mils X 10) = range
