I haven't given it proper thought but my inkling is that the "1, 2, 3 dots" are not "auto-TDC." Auto-TDC is when you have targeting help on in the difficulty options and you select the "TDC On" option from the XO dialog. The "1, 2, 3 dots" method shows up the same no matter if your difficulty setting is 0% Easy or 100% Real.

If you use the actual Auto-TDC, not the 1, 2, 3 dots, then you can see behavior that is kind of like the old SH3/SH4 method with the green/yellow/red solution triangles and some automatic TDC info entry.

Thing is that this method appears to be only partially functional. Not all of the values are auto-entered like they used to in SH3/SH4. If you autopilot as if it was the SH3/SH4 assisted targeting method then I think the speed/AoB isn't entered so you always end up shooting at a mathematically stationary target, thus missing well behind on normal, moving targets.
