C'mon you have to admire what they did for the newb crowd. It actually looks fun and "complicated". Plus it's based on the real procedure.
Now that you mentioned 100% manual targeting, we haven't yet seen a 100% difficulty periscope layout. I'm expecting something like this:
- the contacts on the minimap will be shown as hydrophone lines until you bring them inside the periscope FoV. Then you get a good estimate of range for tactical purposes.
- no more sensor circles.
- the Weapons Officer dialog box will have extra features. But in effect you'll be controlling the TDC through him.
I like this new minimap. Even though I'm against automatic plotting of bearing+range and a gods eye view, I'll be able to just hide it. The problem in SH3+4 was that the Nav Map also showed all the contacts allowing you to cheat and plot with the contact icons.
