Mak,

A lot of people moving from the old Auto TDC to the new one are not understanding the general principles behind AOB, Speed etc since the old system populated that information for you.
For this reason map contacts are on to teach how to gather the data without using the auto tdc.
These Tutorials are not aimed at people who have been using Manual targeting since SHIII, they are aimed at people who do not want to play connect the dots and want to learn how to start gathering information.
100% realism isn't actually 100% realism, In a sub you had several people helping with the information gathering, and torp firing.
The Captain was not the only person on the ship. Since we do not get help from our team onboard map contacts also help provide this feeling.

Don't be elitist because you don't use map contacts, not everyone knows how to play this Game (yes it is a game) and need pointers to get going.
So you can either Help the community by writing a tutorial of your own, or do as you are doing now and jump into threads where people are attempting to help the community and stroke your e-peen by putting down those who don't understand the concepts as well as you appear to.
I guess you jumped right into SHIII and were able to hit with 100% realism from day 1 right? You understood all the principles, and information gathering techniques as well right?
