Sorry, for my poorly worded reply earlier, but I wasn't confused about terminology, I was confused about how the TDC knew where the enemy ship was relative to mine (bearing).
I realized what I had been doing wrong. I always did the range finder once, and usually didn't do it again. This wouldn't have been that big of a deal except sometimes I made adjustments to my course, and I wasn't aware the range finder also sent the target bearing to the TDC.
Last night I actually sunk a ship from 4200 yards (9k tons large passenger carrier...got lucky because I only hit it once haha). I ran into the living room and excitedly told my wife...who looked at me like I was insane.
