Just ran a quick test - with manual targeting you have to send range & bearing to TDC, with automatic targeting the "OWN SHIP" on the TDC automatically tracks with the direction the scope or TBT is pointed. This is with no gameplay mods other than GONE ASIATIC, which affects only traffic and resupply bases, doesn't change anything about the sub or targets physics.
One occasional problem in the stock game with auto targeting is when the enemy formation sets panic stations and runs around in circles trying to avoid collisions, if a destroyer is backing at 10 knots the TDC is pointing at a position ahead of the destroyer instead of behind. That's the only time I get the wrong way gyro angle line, I've learned not to shoot at anything going in reverse because the game isn't programmed for that.
