..hi Paul. i work from this 3-part chart:

SHIP SPEED.
SLOW= 1-6,7 KNOTS.
MEDIUM= 7-14 (8-9) KNOTS
FAST= 15-24 (12-14) KNOTS
VERY FAST = 25+ KNOTS.

RANGE.
LONG RANGE = 3-15 KM
MIDD RANGE = 1-3 KM
SHORT RANGE = LESS THAN 1KM

VISUAL RANGE.
(him spotting me)

CLEAR DAY = 10-15KM
ROUGH SEAS GOOD VIS. = 8-10KM
ROUGH SEAS BAD VIS = 2-3KM

(make sure i am barely able to see him
whilst flanking.)

note: i am not sure how night visability is worked out. maybe i can make this a four part chart with someones advice and experience.
