This is a fast method - it is working well for me:

1) lock the target
2) indentify target
3) see the lenght of the target (for ex. lenght 150)
4)put you vertical axe of scop in front of the target and start the cronometer (timing)
5)when target has just passed your vertical line of scope stop the watch (let say 20 sec)
6) do the math: speed (in knots) = lenght/time*1.94

speed = 150/20*1.94 = 14.55 knots

But why you do not instal mods? Playing sh5 without mods it is like driving a corvette ,, a la campagne,,.

Give a try of Magnum Opus mod - you will have not regrets

I just like to keep my games as stock as possible

For now im running TDW's IRAI and U-boat Historic Specifications by ddrgn which, in my opinion, fixes almost all the game's problems

Most big mods i try always have so much stuff i get confused and lost, i got use to vanilla SH5

But you do not know that because the stock game is scrap most of the people is still playing sh3 or sh4? It cost nothing to try - it is your choice. From my side if i must to play without mod - better i quit plaing

There are so many other importants fixes (like TDW FIX, BRF fix etc).

Happy hunting!

Got a question about the order of data entry in the TDC.

I'm used to SH4 which means I am used to the position keeper. Enter Uboat...no position keeper obviously. So what is the correct order of entering data into the TDC? I ask because every time I put my scope down ( to avoid detection) and raise it again to take a new bearing/range measurement, my AOB resets itself.

I've been doing this

1. Get target's speed through visual observations (using the 3min 15sec rule...mark target's position, wait 3 minutes and 15 seconds, mark target's position again, the distance traveled in meters corresponds to speed.)

2. Take bearing/range readings using stadimeter - enter them

3. Enter AOB (measure using navmap protractor tool).

4. Take one last range reading before firing (Note: I usually have to reset the AOB at this point because the last range/bearing reading seems to reset my AOB dial.

Am I doing something wrong?

Also, is the 3 minute, 15 second rule for taking speed measurements correct? In SH4 it was an even 3 minutes but when using meters as opposed to yards I believe it is 3:15.
