I too, have learned to take with a large grain of salt the crew estimates of speed and course. I don't feel confident unless I use the three-minute method of calculating speed and course using the nomograph. For me, it's nearly flawless.

However, I would like in SH4 to able to ask Weps to give me a solution and have it all fed to the TDC, like you could in SH3. I wouldn't necessarily want the solution to be perfect, rather it would be affected by crew experience, fatigue, indigestion, etc.

It's funny though, if I'm skippering U-boats, I don't mind using automatic targeting because it feels natural somehow to rack up large numbers of tonnage. When I'm driving fleet boats, I want to really have to work at kills. I guess it's all in where one finds the immersion factor to be the richest.
