It's also true that you would not have the running real-time update in front of you all the time. The ideal solution was the "assistance" in SH3, except that it was way to perfect.
In real life the calculations were based on the captain's observations, so if he was wrong the solution would be wrong as well. I think an ideal solution to the problem would be a WE Assistance sort of thing, but the first time you obtained it you would have no speed and a range and AOB that might be off. Repeated observations of the same target would increase the accuracy, but there would still be a chance of it being off.
