"sometimes I miss plain old German TDC", simple answer, the only real difference is the Position Keeper (PK) on the US computer. The purpose of the PK is to help keep the plot of the target track while the scope is down, it has no other purpose, so don't use it. The position when the PK is active assumes the target doesn't change course or speed, so it's really only useful for the approach when the target is not zigzagging and the periscope observations have to be kept to a minimum. For the "final bearing and shoot" observation you should always click the button to turn the PK OFF so when you lock on and click to send range and bearing to the TDC, you're sending the actual range and bearing rather than the predicted range and bearing.
Personally I never use the PK since you can just leave the periscope up until you're close to firing range anyway, the enemy AI in the game can't see a periscope unless it's inside 1000 yards.
