So far in Manual, I have position lock, and the button on the TDC for Real Targeting Updates, so what is missing when selecting Auto Targeting vs Manual?

this topic can/will elicit some very strong opinions on Subsim.
i am an auto-target-Kaleun. the thought here is that i have trained my men to work as a team and as such there is no need for me to do every task necessary to fire a torpedo.
i cannot tell you the differences because i have never used straight manual targeting.
auto-targeting works like this: you detect your prey, calculate their base course, position yourself ahead and to one side of the base course giving yourself a shot at your enemy's side somewhere between 70 and 120 degrees (AOB). raise the scope, find your target, lock the scope on the target, fire the torpedo, lower the scope, time the shot, move in for your next shot or move out for your next kill, depending on the result.
