speed calculations.

If I meet the enemy from a 45º AOB at most, I approach with dog leg curve and get the speed by using the fixed wire method

If I make a night surface attack or simply suddenly meet the enemy in any conditions, I estimate his speed by the bow wake and his course by eyeballing his AOB, and get close to make all possible errors count less.

Hey Hitman, this is cool.
I finaly found somebody using the same methods as me.

I've got to ask it.
For a daylight submerged attack,
do you also prefer an opposite heading to the convoy/target,
with torpedoes being fired at 90 degrees?

I don't like traveling in the same direction as a convoy,
for fear of being run over by a merchant.
