Because this plotting needs numerous very excact estimates of distance amd heading. I have never read detailed German attack account, but I did read many Dutch attack accounts, and that is not the way they did it. They plotted to get a general idea. They did not plot exact to the meter or degree and use that plot to launch their torpedo.

I find using the range/bearing provided by the WO also very unrealistic. He is too exact and can even estimate range when the ship is almost invisible. I feel like cheating when using his info.
