nice effort JMV ! (i really believe it)
![]() I didn't read whole of it and probably you will be right at most of them (if not to all of them) but remember this: there are two ways to leave people in nescience ,the first way is not to give them data at all (logical) and the second way is to start 'bombing' them with data in very shot time! then the mind just....'close the store' i doubt if anyone will read whole of this....

Pisces :
Why 17 knots precisely ? Thanks for your answer anyway. Makman I know I'm useless, after 2 years, I'm still playing 74%, ( Sunk 80.000 T in this 14th mission today end 41, but I know it counts for nothing ) but I know with all the doc I have, I should do better... I'll get there one day. Some are gifted, some are not, you know... Anyway, I just meant not to be selfish, that's all. And if I'm not as good as you with math and trigo, at least I'm trying, and try to be usefull for others with what I gather here and there. I know, I am certainly a better archivist than the math guy... ![]() Your beloved archivist. JMV |

Well, not precisely. The conversion factor from meters/second to knots is 3600s/1852m= 1.944 . As I suggested we take the easy conversion factor of 2 (just doubling it). Then, if the real speed is 17 knots we somehow measure is as being 8.75 m/s (the real speed is 8.7456 m/s), we overestimate it as 2*8.75 m/s= 17.5
Since most civilian traffic is much slower than that, doubling the m/s value is easy yet accurate enough. It's allways off by less than 3% of the real speed.

To Makman94 :
Sorry to have misunderstood the true meaning of your post, but my intentions were not to bomb anybody with this load of formulas, but since they are scattered all aver the forums, I thought it would be usefull to write down these formulas as a reminder for whoever has a brain for that, rather than keeping it for myself. ![]() Pisces : Thank you for your always very detailed explanations. ![]() |

You must be on a long patrol to take the time to type all this. Thanks for the summation of the information.
