As a longtime SH3 player, I recently started SH4. I'm familiar with manual targeting from my SH3 days. Most of the targeting procedures work okay from a dead stop but I find that I almost always need to target while maneuvering. Here's one simple addition to these games that would make my life much easier. When I send the "mark" of bearing and distance to the TDC, wouldn't it also be nice to have the mark with a time-stamp transferred to the map simultaneously? It doesn't have to be the actual position of the target, just my imperfect, wave-tossed estimate. Now, if I'm maneuvering, I have to pause the game, go to the map and use a limited set of tools to plot the bearing, distance and time.
