Broken Stopwatch?

I thought 3 and a half minutes was the majic number for calculating target speed...

No, it's 3 1/4, see the Wiki ... http://www.communitymanuals.com/shii...ee_Minute_Rule

To be really accurate you should start your watch at the UZO or periscope, go the map screen make sure the repeater is in view and working and then wait until the second hand passes a nice even number like 10 sec. Make your mark and then wait 3 minutes and 15 seconds which will show up on the stop watch as 3:15 plus in this case 10 extra seconds (3:25) and mark again.

I've been using the 3:15 rule for quite some time and jump between screens to set the watch, mark position and so on. There are slight timing/postioning errors when doing this but it still is accurate enough to get the speed within a knot

Is there a way to make the endless tick tock'ing stop in the gw mod?

When I goto the UZO or the attack scope, I can start and stop the stopwatch, but it has a ticking of its own, separate from the continuous tick tock'ing.
