OLCGUI speed calc

It always seems to give a low speed reading when I try it at 6x mag. Gotta admit, the times I've used it, I haven't tried at normal mag.

I'm thinking the speed is low cuz it usually gives 6 kts for the merchants, my torps always hit the back if I'm close, or miss to the behind if I'm ~1000 m away.

magnification should not be a factor.

also the biggest distortion on the measurement is your own forward motion. this tends to have the effect of slightly reducing the apparent target speed.

therefore in general it is better to round your result up.
