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.
Yeah that makes sense. Plus if I'm taking his speed while moving, it would reduce the targets relative velocity compared to me, so that explains it I think. Also, thank you for your YouTube channel, it's an awesome resource that I've used for a while now. Seriously, it's much appreciated!
