As silent hunter 5 gives you neither of these, how else (without just enabling the 'give me perfect solutions every time) would I get a proper solution? I like to play games thru once before moding them too heavily but man, ubisoft done us up like a kipper this time.

Right click on the clock and you’ll get the U-Jagd chrono
First you need to identify correctly the target, and you’ll get its length on the ID book.
Then adjust the vertical periscope line at target bow and start chrono...stop it at the stern and read on U-Jagd what you get for your target length —-> that’s its speed
Keep in mind best is to be stopped or very low speed to get accurate target speed, and if possible near to 90°...

There are some U-Jagd chrono tuto on the web if you don’t understand me
