No, the intersection I'm talking about is when a target changes from a lead to lag or vice versa his speed across the LOS is temporarily 0 so the next bearing line I get after the maneuver will cross the last one at close to the range of the target. I'm not describing it very well, but I can't remember the title of the old thread that details it. I'll try to dig it up.

I'm pretty sure the Akula is quiet enough that he'll have me on sonar at about the same time I have him and that's why I've started thinking about not giving him a solution by changing LOS.

You have to realise one thing : that a tma solution that is not updated is worthless. So if you change los because you must to get a fix on your enemy or to set a number of parameters (max distance, speed, course etc...) then not only you have to update your tma solution on him, but he has to update his solution on you as well. If he doesn't then his tma solution is going from good (if it was good to begin with) to bad to worse to worthless.
The golden egg so to speak is to learn how to keep the initiative.
That is to change frequently course and speed (at 2 minutes interval between the arrival of the bearing lines) so that your enemy has a hell of a time just trying to update his tma solution on you all the while you update easily your solution on him. And this is the real holy grail of manual tma. And it takes a lot of pratice. Because ultimately you will always have the initiative on your opponent, and his course changes and speed changes won't limit your ability to track him and constantly update your solution.
I don't know if the pdf is available on subguru, but its available on CADC website. Its called the red book and it contains a whole section that explains how not to lose (and update !!!) that precious manual tma you did while your quarry is changing course and speed. ^_^
