I've agreed with your suggestion over at Ubi. I'm new to SH4 and manual targeting but I'm finding it tough to stay alive. I'm still on the Quick Missions and vanilla 1.3 getting practice against destroyers. I find that if I'm targeting the Yamato or a tanker and spot a DD heading for me at 20 knots, I don't have time to change all the settings for a "snap shot" before it has run over me. I've been told that I should hit the crash dive and hard rudder keys, get out of there and go after the DD later.

I'm suggesting that it should be easier to get off a snap shot. There needs to be a simple key push (or mouse click) that transfers the bearing from the periscope to the TDC, resets TDC ship speed to zero, sets one torpedo to FAST, CONTACT and SHALLOW, opens the doors and fires it down that bearing. O'Kane and Morton could do that in RL because they had a crew that did the work for them. If some modder can give us that, I (and I'm sure that hundreds of other people) will be eternally grateful.
