I'm not sure about how the PK works in auto-TDC mode, but in real life, the TDC was really two electro-machanical computers that worked in tandem. One was the Position Keeper, which tracked the target's movements based on observed inputs. The other was the Angle Solver, which computed a firing solution, based on the target data passed over from the PK. The RL TDC was more complicated than what we have in-game, and the ability to 'turn off' the PK allows us to manipulate the TDC more than we could otherwise.
