I always under estimate the speed using the RAOBF

I'm close to being sent back to Kiel to face the wrath of the big D himself as I just can't get the target speed correct when using the RAOBF and am looking for guidance please.

My process using TWOS mod:

I correctly identify the ship - even use the external camera to view it close up #cheating.com
Find the length in metres
Time how long it takes to go past my vert periscope line from bow to stern (at the water line, not the top of the bow/stern)
Rotate the middle disk of the RAOBF so that the time in seconds (outer numbers) is under the length in metres
Arrggh, it's all gone wrong and if I wasn't a mild-mannered, sensible, middle aged man, I'd be having a rage fit.

Example from tonight. T2 Tanker. Length 150m, took two minutes 31 seconds to move past the vertical line. This gave me a speed of 2 knots which seems very slow.

I then measure the speed using distance over time and it comes in at 6 knots which gave me a two torpedo hit and one dud so must have been pretty close to correct with my 90 AOB attack.

I've watched this video: so many times now to ensure I'm not being an idiot. Maybe I am. Please send help.
