ok instead of posting like 20 screenshots I went ahead and made a little movie of me vs a small engine aft. This is what most of my engagements look like, apart from firing all 5 remaining torpedoes there at the end

If it looks like I don't know what the heck I'm doing, it's because I honestly don't. I've watched the tutorial videos here multiple times, and yet I'm still doing something wrong.

The file is about 87 megs, about 6 minutes 37 seconds long. It will take about 5 minutes to download at 300KB/s

At 1:24 I went ahead and estimated the target speed and bearing. 6knots, course 271. Wait a minute, 271? That would be due west and I know the target is heading north. (This is an earlier save file I have been using for practice)

At 2:04 I decided that I must have gotten the range off so I decide to get it again and estimate speed and bearing again. This time we're showing 38 knots and a heading of 55. Not bad for a ship whose max speed is 11 knots...
At 2:11: One more speed and bearing measurement - this time the target is screaming along at 72 knots, at 244 degrees.
At 2:49 I got tired of using the periscope tools so I decided to find a solution using the attack map.
