For fixed wire, you either need to be stopped, or pointed at the target, so that your own movement doesn’t affect the measurement.

3000 m is way too far. At that range you are allowed almost no error in speed, and same for AOB. This is because the angular target is smaller, making a small error in your gyro angle matter much more. Best practice is under 1000. Dönitz trained his men for 600 m.
