Main difference is range, AOB, and speed is automatically done for you with automatic targeting. Manual targeting you get the bearing only, have to estimate and calculate the rest. I use automatic simply because AOB is hopeless for me, 10 degrees starboard looks exactly the same as 30. If you can't estimate AOB within 5 degrees then the speed and course are just guesswork. In any case there simply isn't enough time for one guy to do all that, that's why they have a tracking team in the first place.
