Why are you people using spread? Just move the periscope by hand

I never did understand the need for salvos, especially now when we can no longer lock on a target.

A minimalistic TDC needs to have:
- AOB
- Range
- Speed
- Gyro
The Bearing is not necessary although you CAN put it for symmetry (6 dials) or put the autoupdate button instead.

I strongly suggest you leave the original Torpedo panel unchanged as it did show the reload timers.

Anyway, your mod proved 2 things I already suspected:
- AGAIN we can't manually input data unless Autoupdate in off. WHYYYYYY?!!!!
- There's something wrong when you click the "calculate speed based on readings": the AOB resets. I guess it should put the correct AOB for Zero Bearing but it doesn't.
Deeevs!!!
