An experienced officer or NCO on the bridge knows within a degree or two the bearing of any object. A novice should be able to box the compass with accuracy within a day of two of practice.
So not having the bearing on the binoculars is really not realistic.
In reality, they should be more powerful. One can use the mini-tweaker or 3d editor to increase power.
By the way, does anybody know the power of the binoculars used by the U-Boat crews?
