Be very careful using TC with enemy ships, especially warships close by.

Getting an estimated course on the target is a good thing. But then try to race ahead of the target and set up an intercept point. But remember, the enemy ship can and usually will change course. So just keep tracking them. It takes a little getting used to, so be patient, and expect to make mistakes at first. If you need to, save the game when you first make contact, and if you need to, restart the game from that point, and practice over and over again until you get the hang of it.

It's tough trying to do the work of the whole staff on duty. But don't put any data into the TDC until you get some sort of visual confirmation.

There are some tutorial vids on youtube I think by RockinRobbins that show how to do the procedures for manual targeting, although they are with the fleetboats. But the same principles apply.
