As I said .. I don't use LOBs to determine firing solution .. I just use them for ID and general direction (sometimes also for fast FFG towed arrays mirror contact removal).
For shooting I always use more precise techniques, like active sonar or buoy. One ping should be enough if you have rough idea about contact position.

So I don't really update LOBs much, that is why was not even aware of the problem.

However .. buoys are good for tracking incoming torpedoes and helps you to decide if you have already evaded them or not. I such cases fast and easy (even automatic) LOB updates would be helpfull.
