This is what I was thinking.

It is possible to have a target 10 deg. off the bow and have a solution for the stern tubes, if the target is close and moving rapidly past you. But, as you said, the TDC will compute a solution for the tubes selected, without regard as to the quality/efficacy of the solution.
