I can't resist pointing out the irony; combination of "best TDC" with "lousiest torpedoes". I'll bet the early-war skippers would gladly have put up with a more rudimentary solution-obtainment device in exchange for reliable weapons.

Regarding the "beyond visual range" temporary lock, I've also found it useful in preparing for convoy attacks - picking my target out of the crowd and getting the PK calculation entered before my derelict command team awakes from their stupor long enough to realize that there's actually ships out there somewhere. Slackers.
If I waited for those delinquents to actually discern the ships in the periscope and plot them for me, that flanking escort would be MUCH closer to seeing my periscope sticking out of the water.
