It might be a good habit to switch it off before entering new information, but if you are quick with the inputs it's definitely not necessary. In a convoy situation it's exactly like this: Send new range and bearing to tdc, send new aob to tdc, fire.

Yeah but, having to recalculate that information on another ship in a convoy wastes valuble time, by which time if your first torpedo's are spotted in the water by the enemy, the entire convoy will change direction.


I wish attacking multiple targets was the same as it was in SH3. I could get all the data for one target in a convoy, fire at it, lock onto the next target and the TDC would adjust the bearing and AOB automatically ready for the next shot. Made shooting at two or three ships in a convoy childs play. Weather you'd get any hits is another matter, but the torpedo's would at least go in the right direction
