This was a good read.

In particular, I noticed that they plug the range, bow angle, speed, and bearing into the TDC and then put the scope down. The TDC then maintains a generated bearing to target. The solution is verified when the Attack Officer raises the scope and the target is where the TDC said it would be. Otherwise, he "indicates a zig of...".

I JUST started using the SHIII realism levels where I have to start entering torpedo solutions manually and I'm having a hard time implementing the procedure in this real life manual. I know how to plug the various numbers in, but I can't find the button to start the "tracking". I also don't see a dial that shows the generated bearing to where the target "should be" when I raise the scope. It seems like every time I lower the scope, the TDC just "freezes" where it is (i.e. the numbers are in, but there the TDC isn't tracking). Any 100% realism veterans know how to use this thing, or was that a feature that U.S. subs had and German ones did not?

No cap\'n, sir, the attack scope can\'t go beyond 6x magnification, so could we lower the scope and continue the mission?
