The way I plot an attack is: three bearings method for course (visual or hydrophone, depends of a situation, convoy or a single ship), or shadowing it for 10-15 minutes and let my watchman do 2 or three estimates of range and bearing, in case of a convoy sending contact report (estimates course and speed), then overtaking (if necessary in both cases), then calculating and setting the T course of my sub and getting closer, stop, measure speed (visual, length of a ship x 1.943 / time to pass my cross sight), measuring range and bearing, calculating AOB, turning ON the PK and wait for him to come to my 0 degrees... and fire (torpedoes properties are set long time ago).

I think I have made one error, if you touch range&bearing you MUST adjust AOB, otherwise the PK will take the last old measurement (10 or 15 minutes ago) and therefore I will miss... is this the point? Also I saw in some older tutorial on youtube that you have to click AOB's "send to TDC" button twice?? Is this some old bug, and is it corrected in TMO + RSRDC + OTC??

I'm doing this all because my map updates are "OFF".
