There were different models of TDC, and perhaps the later models had a better system in this regard. I am not 100% sure the TDC itself did the task, but I am sure they had a way to do it. Allowing last minute delays for this reason would have been unacceptable. The TDC's whole reason for existance, was to speed up the calculations for an attack. The Mk VIII angle solver, and associated math, could calculate the necessary values for an attack, but it was judged to be too slow to keep up with a rapidly changing situation.
Having a TDC, without the ability to rapidly set a gyro angle spread, would be like having a sword, forged from the finest steel, but with a blunt edge. Much of it's potential would be wasted.

Hear, hear!
