The generated gyro angle is continuously updated by the TDC. Unless you turn the TDC off the second the torpedo is launched, the gyro angle line will not match the track of a torpedo that has already left the tube as it is updating for the next shot.
So shouldnt the light green line actually line up on the white X then?

It would make sense that the light green line hit the X and confirm you have a good firing solution. Dontcha think?

Unless the 'bug' causes the line not to match up.
