point and shoot possible?

[Joe S]

In the days of Sub Battle Simulator,and SHI people figured out that if you had a good estimate on target speed, you could easily estimate the amount of lead required for a hit and at close range you could reliably get hits by aiming the periscope ahead of the target by the requisite number of degrees. I tried that in SHIV but the only way I can get it to work is by using the gyro angle setter which is limited to 15 or 20 degrees from the heading of the boat. does anyone know if we can use the scope to point to where we want to shoot without entering data into the TDC?
