I've never had that view. Manual TDC is certainly more difficult, but if you are willing to put in the extra time and effort in your approaches, you can do it.

The main difficulty in manual targeting is obtaining accurate data. This is often challanging, but is greatly aided by plotting out a good number of points and checking the data ('fairing' the plot). I would try to make 10 or 12 observations and use a rolling avg. of the last 3 to reduce the error of any single observation. Radar is a powerful tool and helps a lot, but is not indespensible to the process.

As far as the periscope goes, I found I was able to leave it up beyond 4,000yd. , but I tried to keep observations short as the range got down to 1,000yd. or so. Perhaps different mods change this aspect of the game?
