Not sure where you got that last part from. The longer you keep the periscope up, the longer anyone around you has the time to detect you. Only keep it up as long as is needed to determine range and AOB. The moment you know what AOB it is, you should unlock the scope to keep the scope at the bearing that it must be synchronised to. And lower it. The target bearing keeps drifting when it passes in front of you. And this happens more quickly as the AOB approaches 90. You don't want the old AOB to be synchronised to a later bearing when you flip the TDC back to auto, because the lock kept dragging it along while you played with the dials.
P.S. One more thing to know about the TDC. If you make a turn, it doesn't correct for this angle change either. The AOB after your turn must be synchronised to the new target bearing. The american TDC in SH4 does this for you when the position keeper is active.
