The only AC I use on OHP are : EW and CM
EW because you don't have the right to miss any new EW track, wherever you are (at any other station)
And CM to start the first CM launch in case of vampire.
So AC TMA are manual of course, to let me merge what I want

I didn't said that Mau, I said you didn't took time to see it's really not that difficult
The best prove is ... I can make it ... and i'm not a scientist or military specialist, i didn't even made science studies and i'm quite poor at mental calculation.

If you say that I could say : why not using ALL auto crew so ?
and just using the ship control.
DW could be employed as a simulation or as a wargame (what you discribed).
I didn't tell you to do this or that, just explained you miss the most interesting part using the AC TMA.
because under water, things are not as clear as the AC TMA picture always give you so soon.
So you miss the simulation aspect, the need to make choices when the solution is difficult to make, finally you lost the main interesting part of the simulation -to my eyes-

fixing ? how ? make it less accurate ? how much ? less than a good player ? more ? in how long time a TMA should be made by the AC ?
So much questions to answer ... and so easy solution to find : manual TMA, for the good of games.

Listen to all peoples using it : didn't you saw manual TMA give much better games ? A 6 minutes game (when you've got the 1st LOB with Akula, the missile is 1 minute to be launch ... i call that not only a cheat but also a game killer) could become a 1 hour of very interesting game, really playing cats and mouses.

Now, I never said do this or that, I just said you better really try before giving an opinion about it. Because all people I saw tried this didn't came back to the AC : they just have good and fair game now.
