This game is fun, but can be so frustrating

I just tried the mission where u have to damage the Russian carrier Kuznetsov. I made it in past the screen and got into a good firing position, got all the TMA data, calculated 24 knots of speed etc and funnily enough it matched up with the show truth data on the map. Horray!!!

BUT, I wasted ALOT of time fiddling around on the TMA screen. When putting in the data and locking in the target speed for a solution, you lose the ability to resize and adjust the ruler on the bearing lines, its only if you unlock it that you can adjust it at will. Problem is, with it unlocked, your target speed totally changes as you adjust the ruler on the bearing lines to line up the tick marks and then becomes wrong from the 24 knots I got from the DEMON. This also results in a very crappy dot stack when trying to "stack the dots"......the Kuznetsov was real close to me due to all my time wasted fiddling around on the TMA screen I fired off 4 torpedos and they all went off in the wrong direction.....I knew that was going to happen because my dot stack was crappy.

When I lock in the speed for 24 knots, the ruler becomes MASSIVE. And there are not enough bearing lines to then match the ruler ticks with the lines......so what can you then do atbout that??
