Additionally with no map contact update on, i also play with no sub icon on map so the 3:15 rule doesnt really suits me well.

I see, but in fact you don't need the icon, even if you are moving. If you manage to set your course quite parallel to the targets one before you start precise plotting, it's very easy to do the calculations - you just havr to make an additional plot marking your position avery 3.15 minutes. As you know your course and speed exactly, that's not a problem.

Its not that simple if you are not seeing your sub on map in real time, but i think my best only option is to set an aproximate parallel course with the target and calculate this way wich will eventually led to many errors

You don;t need the icon, man.

You don't even need the map, to face the truth. All that's important is the RELATIVE course, you can plot it on a blank sheet of paper, on a black board or on the floor with a piece of coal... Just anywhere.

Just think about it.

To do the Wazoos manual targeting while moving he instructs you to mark a position on the center of your sub an then to start moving at ahead slow, past 3:15 minutes you put another mark whre you sub is at the moment, so if you have no sub icon you have to consult the speed charts to plot where you are past 3:15 minutes it envolvs much more calculation an difficulty to the targeting that viewing your sub all the time, i suggest you try it to see.

Yes, sure, I know it makes it a bit harder, but:
- see, what Corsair said about making things harder. Wise words.

- you can mark your starting position and the next position AND even the 'nexter' position anytime. You certainly don't have to wait till the 3.15 passes and then plot all the marks at the same moment. So you have plenty of time to mark your future position with really good precision.

man! I must admire you for playing without seeing your sub on the chart... I suppose you have 100 percent realism on? and how do you find the contacts position? with stadimeter?

I play with 84%, WE on only for identifying some ships im not sure of not for ploting solutions (i do it myself) and external camera for eye candy only. I find my contacts position trough the hidrophones and visual observation (periscope/uzo) you dont really need to know where your sub is to do this, the stadimeter is only for calculating the targets range mate, but the all purpose of my first question is that normally i make the 90º AoB approach, but sometimes its not possible to make such an approach and i wanted a fast way to calculate the targets course to determine the AoB in other angles than 90º.
