does the tdc automatically update WHENEVER u move the scope oe must u move the scope then click the tick button to update it?

The computer automatically changes the solution based on which way you point the scope. You can see a ship but the computer can only do what you tell it. The computer only serves one purpose: to get the torpedo to hit what you have under the crosshairs. You tell it how fast it goes and how far away it is and which direction its going and it sets up the solution to fire as a target under your crosshairs. Really it just figures out how far to lead it. The computer can't detect anything visually. You pointit like a gun, albeit a gun which fires as crooked or straight as you tell it. :up:

So no you don't have to update the TDC everytime you move the scope. If that were true you'd have to hit the check constanly since almost every target is moving and the scope moves with it whether it's locked or you're manually tracking it.
