The high TC is useful in the open waters and dangerous close to land or enemy frequent tracks. You, as captain, have to choose when and how to use the tools you have.
The concept of TC is to avoid boredom while you get into the "hot" zones where the enemy will be. Once there it is only reasonable to expect YOU to work with caution.
Even real-life equipment and men have glitches and miss things.
Do the role-play thing and enjoy the results.
