Supposedly, sending speed data won't cause an adjustment to bearing ... but it's best not to take any chances. If using the O'Kane method and you need to correct what's already in the TDC, make sure your aiming device (TBT or periscope) is "on the mark" (set to where you want it to be when you start firing) before sending the new data.
I had the same problem until I disciplined myself to use the Observation Scope for peeks, scans and identification purposes while keeping the Attack Scope locked (and down until it's trigger time) on the shoot bearing.
DOK method rules.
