I'm afraid with Stock Sh5 you can forget about any sort of advanced Manual Targeting firing techniques.
Sh5 has removed that area (TDC) out from the players use, a basic version exists in the XO Dialogue box.

You have 2 choices to regain the full TDC.

1. Install A User Interface Mod
2. Reactivate the TDC Manually

Option 1: Install A User Interface Mod
Here you have 3 choices for a UI they are as follows:

Option 2: Reactivate the TDC Manually
This involves editing the pyton scripts for the Periscopes that you wish to regain use of the TDC on.

You will find the scripts in the following folder:

..\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Scripts\Menu

There are 3 scripts of Interest

• Page obs periscope.py
• Page attack periscope.py
• Page UZO.py

Open these with any txt editor eg wordpad and copy and paste these into the relevant file and save

If TDC required at the UZO station amend the Page UZO.py as follows

#Page UZO.py
from menu import *
def InitializeScript():
	Menu.PageActivated += Menu_PageActivated
	Menu.PageDeactivated += Menu_PageDeactivated
def UnloadScript():
	Menu.PageActivated -= Menu_PageActivated
	Menu.PageDeactivated -= Menu_PageDeactivated
def Menu_PageActivated( page ):
	if page == PageUZO:
		from PageTDC import PageTDC
		PageTDC.Visible = True
def Menu_PageDeactivated( page ):
	if page == PageUZO:
		from PageTDC import PageTDC
		PageTDC.Visible = False

If TDC required at the Attack Periscope station amend the Page attack periscope.py as follows

#Page attack periscope.py
from menu import *
def InitializeScript():
	Menu.PageActivated += Menu_PageActivated
	Menu.PageDeactivated += Menu_PageDeactivated
def UnloadScript():
	Menu.PageActivated -= Menu_PageActivated
	Menu.PageDeactivated -= Menu_PageDeactivated
def Menu_PageActivated( page ):
	if page == Pageattackperiscope:
		from PageTDC import PageTDC
		PageTDC.Visible = True
def Menu_PageDeactivated( page ):
	if page == Pageattackperiscope:
		from PageTDC import PageTDC
		PageTDC.Visible = False

If TDC required at the Observation Periscope station amend the obs periscope.py as follows

#Page obs periscope.py
from menu import *
def InitializeScript():
	Menu.PageActivated += Menu_PageActivated
	Menu.PageDeactivated += Menu_PageDeactivated
def UnloadScript():
	Menu.PageActivated -= Menu_PageActivated
	Menu.PageDeactivated -= Menu_PageDeactivated
def Menu_PageActivated( page ):
	if page == Pageobsperiscope:
		from PageTDC import PageTDC
		PageTDC.Visible = True
def Menu_PageDeactivated( page ):
	if page == Pageobsperiscope:
		from PageTDC import PageTDC
		PageTDC.Visible = False

This method will allow you to retain the Stock SH5 feel while still getting the benefit of of full Manual Targeting that the TDC gives.

Have Fun
