I'm not sure what the real TDC was capable of. In the picture below you can see that it is a complicated device. In the U-995 it is very simple one. So multiple versions excisted. In Das Boot you see that it was able to track multiple targets. That is something that is missing in SH3/4. Set solution - I never used it - should be available as well as the possibility to micro manage the torpedo's. You should be able of course to set the torpedo's yourself as it is one of the most thrilling aspects of an attack. What I read was that in reality the commander observed the targets and estimated speed and distance by 'seamen's eye'. The (nav) officer should than have entered the parameters into the system like in Das Boot.
