I understand why you might want to turn it off while setting up a new target, but it can be done while keeping it on.

the PK does not update all of the inputs.
i've seen it in action or, should i say, bad action.

i've experienced tracking a ship from say, 10,000 yds, with the PK.
when the distance to target dial reaches my firing point and i fire, the torpedos track nowhere near the track they are supposed to follow, they track far behind the current track. this is easy to see early in the war when using Mk14's. if i react fast enough, i can return to the scope, disengage the PK, re-sight my target, lock the firing solution into the TDC/torpedo system, fire the next fish, and then i get a hit.
