the answer is, it depends whether you use position keeper or the scope for bearing update.

When you have the position keeper deactivated. Your bearing is automaticly updated by your scope direction in real time. The moment you activate the position keeper, it will first disconnect the scope from bearing update and calculate the latest known bearing further based on firing solution. Then it doesnt matter where you aim at, as long your position keeper is activated the torpedos will go for the interception point given by position keeper not the scope.

The problem you have is not about updating bearing. You just use the position keeper way to often. Actualy you dont need to use the position keeper at all when you go for target visualy. Position Keeper is just a nice tool to "predict" bearing based on firing solution when you cannot, or dont want to update bearing with the scope. For visual firing solution its rather a hindrance then help, specialy when you go for special parts because PK ignores bearing given by the scope.

Try this: Forget the position keeper. Create a firing solution. Unlock the target and aim for a special part just as you did in SH3 and see what happens.
