The American TDC could track the target's predicted heading from the u-boat
without a visual contact. You put in all the data, set it off and then it constantly
updated the heading to target.
This had the advantage of telling you how good your solution was. i.e. if it
is a good solution then the predicted heading will match the visual one. However,
it was not much use for no-visual attacks as it multiplied any error in the initial
inputs by the time since the last visual check.
