Stopwatch

Hey guys how do you read the stopwatch with all the colored numbers that comes with it for use when measuring the speed of the enemy ships? I just couldn't find a tutorial for that. Thanks anyway

On the Nav Map (assuming you have manual targeting enabled), use the black pencil marker to place an "X" on a ship's current position. At the same time. start the stopwatch. In EXACTLY 3 minutes, mark the ship's new position again with another "X".

Now that you have 2 "X's" marked, break out the compass and measure the distance between them. If it measures 700, then the ship was traveling 7 knots. If it measures 900, then the ship was traveling 9 knots and so on.

Also, now that you have 2 "X's" you can use the other tool to lay out the course that the ship is traveling on.

You now have a "picture" of the ship's course and speed at that moment.

Have fun!

Do you mean the U-Jagd for the U-boats?

i only have the two black hands and the red second hand on my watches but what i do is has the bow hit the scope line start the second hand and as soon has the aft hits the line stop the second hand then using solution solver i get the length of ship in the target manual put the length in the solution solver then put the time it took the ship into solution solver which will give you speed and how much lead you need then fire down the wire
