Do you know how to calculate speed of the ship on german u boot?

Is there is a mod for this?

You mean speed of the target, right?

Aside from plotting on the map, you can use the "fixed wire" method, do a search on the Sh3 forums, almost every custom interface is using it.

If you are plotting distance over time, you don't need a mod, just take the distance traveled in 3'15" and devide by 100. That is to say, a ship traveling at 8 knots will go about 800 meters in 3 1/4 minutes.

If you are interested in the "time by wire" method, the geometry is explained in post 58:

There is a utility program in downloads that does that calculation, as well as more interesting things:
