If you are using radar or sonar positions that is not a problem as your plotted positions would be nearly perfect anyway. For visual positions it is overly accurate, but we're stuck with what the game engine feeds us.

Map updates off also deactivates the attack map plotting, making checks of plot against TDC settings impossible. This is another blow to the concept that turning map updates off somehow makes the game more realistic.
If you have time, please expand on this concept a tad more. Why do you find this to be less realistic, and what settings do you find to be the most?

Not at all being contentious. Genuinely curious...
