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?
