whats your favorite way to calculate speed?

Personally, I lick my finger and point it in the air to guesstimate.

In this game, unless you are firing A) beyond range of 3000, B) at a target as it zig-zags or C) at a ship which is bearing straight in on you.... the solutions aren't terribly difficult. Generally, 2 clicks left or right will hit. For me, it only gets tough when the ranges are under 800... say when a DD is hunting you at full speed. Then its a tough call, no matter if they are doing 5kn, 9kn, 21kn or 34kn. Getting the solution right at that range is a pain. Less so if you open the tube first.

Caveat: I try to take all my shots with a 90* angle on the target, thus my generality of 1-2 clicks works well... its rare that I slip one past the target.
