Except autoupdate with the current bearing of your optics in real time (You must continuously send bearing and range to update the current real position of the target |
But as a result, you can save your own skin by being able to look around without killing your solution. Or, as in the Dick O'Kane technique, you can set up your attack, then look for the present position of the target without worrying about your chosen attack bearing being ruined by moving the scope. The PK is off and you are using the characteristic of the American TDC as a feature, not a defect.
It's all in your mental attitude toward the equipment you are using.
I agree that having the TDC track more than one target at a time would be an improvement in the game. The real American TDC also had an input for target length and calculated offsets for any desired percentage of spread. Both of these were real advantages of the American TDC over the German one and are not modeled in SH4. Neither is a deal killer for either side. Learn both thoroughly and be better at both!
