With manual targeting, your doing all of it. I will say though its much more rewarding this way then point and click. I am currently working on learning how they really did it all, and completly ignoring much of the TDC and using the protractor tool and what not.

But the use of TDC is strongly related to manual targeting. Range, AOB, etc. You finish your manual targeting with inputs/corrections into TDC panel. Of course this wasn't a captain's duty to directly input data into TDC. But since there is no other option, you have to stay with no other option..
