SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Quick Question on Manual Range Estimation for the TDC

I need a little clarification on manual torpedo targeting. Suppose I am doing a manual target input. I use the Stadimeter to get a range. Say I calculate the range to be 1500m and click the check box to send the info to the TDC.

However, I am closing on the target and can not fire the torpedo until 30 seconds later. By then the actual range is 1300m. Is the range info in the TDC being automatically updated during those 30 sec or will my shot be off because the TDC still thinks the target is 1500m away?

What about for the AOB? If you are in the same scenario and input the AOB as 110, but you can't fire the torpedo for 30 seconds and the AOB changes from 110 to 130 during that time, will the TDC auto update that for the firing solution?

Thanks
