In patch 1.01, the predicted path of ships when TDC is off was removed from map updates off, but the fix appears to have been reversed, for example:
1. manual TDC + map updates off + TDC off:

in this shot, I have locked on to a ship in the view of my scope (the light blue cone). I do not see the ship or its track, but the predicted path of my torpedo (yellow line) aims where the ship is going to be. In actuality, it should go straight down the view bearing (i.e. down the light blue cone);
2. manual TDC + map updates on + TDC off:

in this shot, I have locked on to a ship in the view of my scope (the light blue cone). You see the ship and its predicted track, but the predicted path of my torpedo (yellow line) now aims correctly straight down the view bearing (i.e. down the light blue cone);
the fix has been reversed, w. manual TDC + map updates off + TDC of, you should not see the ship or its predicted path and the torpedo should shoot straight down the bearing (i.e. light blue cone).
