Yeah.. but in real life the stations demand more of your attention too. The way I see it, realism wise, is that they're both "realistic" in some sense. I think it's more of a matter of personal preference.
I *like* doing TMA and fussing over bearing rates, so I do it.
The missions I like to play are frequently very long compared to what a lot of other people play too. It's not always possible for me to stare at a sonar screen all day, so I let my autocrew fill in, mostly so I won't miss something. Honestly, though, by this point, based on the mathematics of things, I usually have a pretty good idea of about when I need to start paying attention anyhow. If I know about how long it takes my Pd to reach about 0.5 given the assumptions I've made about my speed and what not, then I start worrying around the median time to detect. It seems to work pretty well. I call it a victory for Koopman. :-)
