In real life there is no way for the periscope or stadmeter to know if you are looking at a boat or not. I'm not sure if the devs would consider this a bug or not, but either way it should be corrected.
I wish it was! Since the stadimeter is the only way to enter a range in the TDC that I know of, it's imposible to enter a radar-only solution. But, if you can see the target, just measure the range with it locked, and before pressing the red "send to TDC" button, unlock and move the periscope to the bearing of your choice, then press it. It works for me.
