Personally, I don't see a 'problem'. I prefer SHIV's TDC to SHIII's any day of the week!
because im setting up a solution for a zero gyro like i used to do in SH3 without the buggy PK.

.ie after i plot the targets course on the map and have his speed, i set my scope to 0 degrees and input the range and AOB he would be at if he was at zero degrees. then i look at the gyro angle and adjust myscope by that amount and re-submit the range again to update my gyro to zero.

then simply fire a few torps at each ship of convoy as they pass my crosshairs. range to each ship from this point on shouldn't matter much with a zero gyro.

infact i used to target the first ship of each row in a convoy and have my torps hit them all at almost the exact same time in SH3 using that method.
