Thank you for great advices!
I'll read the "The Hunt: An illustrated tutorial"

Suddenly i have a funny idea to measure the distance
[put the REAL RULER on my display and measure the distance]
is it possible?i think it may much easier to do accurate ploting

Im not exactly following what you say by REAL RULER?? if you mean a real life ruler.. dont. There is a "Ruler" tool in your navigation map. the way I set up my shots (Always at a 90* angle to their course and Im always there before the target) I find my 90 degree angle, then I take a ruler and start from the point of there his course intersects the angle and bring it out to about 1km usually (Ive made shots from 2km and 3km before too, like wise, ive made them from .5-.9 km too) just remember as a rule of thumb for short shots, usually try to stay .5 km out because the Torp has to arm first, I think its .3km distance before it arms? or .4? but thats beside the point

Can you elaborate?

The in-game tools are perfectly adequate to do accurate plotting; they just take some practice.
