Adjusting parameters on the attack map screen is a kludge from SH3. It isn't realistic there either. The attack map simulates the check that was made between actual target position and the position in the TDC, which was made before every shot. If they were not in agreement the sub didn't shoot.
But the man responsible for that check did not set AoB, target speed, range or bearing into the TDC. He was the independent observer that kept the TDC team honest. This was true on US and German boats.
I have no idea where the SH3 kludge came from. But it's wrong. We shouldn't imitate it in SH4.
