I also noticed I cannot turn the TDC off again and use auto TDC anymore. The "turn off"-dialog option is not clickable....

Hi MRV the Periscope Icon is a stadimeter fix solution.
In the stock SH5 the stadimeter is bugged - it always sets the mast height to 20M no matter what ship you lock (Thereby giving inaccurate range readings using stadimeter).
Now I included a-workarond to this problem using a hidden Send Mast height to TDC Button left over from redundant SH4 files within SH5.
It works like so:
- On entering the Scope the icon is Yellow
- Click the icon - It turns green
- Now use the stadimeter on a locked (And ID'ed SHip) to get range (Its incorrect due to 20M bug)
- Now click the Icon again (Flashes red) and look at your range....
- Thats right its updated to the correct value
As for the compute torpedo solution, it should work once you have entered a correct ship speed into the TDC.
As for not being able to select Auto Mode after switching Manual Mode
That was fixed in V3.0 of the UI - I'll have to check the Megamod files to make sure the correct changes are in place
