It would be a bit different if the game allowed "active pause" so you could spend the time doing the plotting.

The biggest issue is trying to zoom in to get the precision necessary to be sufficient accurate enough.

It's extremely easy to come up with a half-decent fire control solution using three sets of range/bearing info plotted 3 minutes apart, assuming you haven't been spotted. It's the recording of that info in the chart that is difficult given the limitations of the game.
