From what I understand the poster is right. We are missing some advance functionality in the TDC and/or Periscope that would allow us to keep the TDC calculating range, speed and AoB, but allowing us to move the bearing freely.
There should be a seperate means of "marking" a new bearing without corrupting the other data. As far as I can tell, the only way to do that in game indirectly is by unlocking the target and moving the "pip" where you want it and re-sending speed data. This would only work if sending speed data is enough to input a new bearing into the TDC like range and possibly AoB does.
Either way, we need a new function called "bearing mark"...I cant believe the Devs missed that. Had the read the memoirs of some of the greates skippers ever, they'd had picked that functionality up...its a key feature!
