I agree with you but for a slightly different reason. Somewhere on this board Sailor Steve and I discussed it with some other folks. The short version of what I said was that a trained watch stander can call out a relative bearing angle of a sighting within 10 degrees or so. This is because that, unlike in the game, the watch stander gets to know what the bearing angle is of different parts of the ship when seen from his watch station. He gets to take his eyes off the contact, look at his ship on the same bearing, and make a mental calculation of the bearing angle before reporting in on the sound powered phones.
Realism is in the eye of the beholder...
