The same 6 knots are useful even when changing course for starting a new TMA leg; that 6 konts will shorten both the time need to complete the turn and the time to straight the TA again...
What you think about that?

First of all, if I have to maintain a silent speed, I never pay out the TA its entire length. The slow speed will be a detriment in terms of detection because the array will drop down and it will take too long to update after a turn. Likewise, I swap from Starboard to Port array at slower speed and this cleans up some solutions for me.
