I set up my TDC to what the AOB, bearing and range will be when I shoot. Usually I will calc a 0 bearing with a 90 AOB and whatever range I think I will be in when I shoot. I make sure my periscope reading matches my O bearing. I then find that the TDC has these settings locked in and will self adjust if I follow the target ship with my periscope ie; the bearing and the AOB change as I rotate the periscope. So my answer will be that yes, the TDC should let you just point and shoot after you've got the shot set-up at different ships travelling in the same direction and speed. Although large gyro angles affect accuracy and that ships not on the same row will have slightly different AOB (due to range affects.
Haven't really tried it in reality as I'm new and earlt in the game.
Good hunting
