I disagree. The TDC is in essence predicting the spot the target will be based on your inputs, and applying the proper lead to the torpedo to intercept that spot. The further away the target is, the longer the torpedos take to get to the target, and the more lead needs to be applied since the target has moved more in the time it takes for the fish to get there. Only in a situation where the target is stationary would the range be unimportant.
