TMA Autocrew not as good as in SC?

Do others agree that the TMA autocrew in DW are not as good as they were in Sub Command? For example, I was playing a quick mission in the GIUK driving a Kilo when I got a contact on an Ohio Class SSBN. After monitoring it for a little while I fired off a torp in its direction. The contact on the nav map stayed on its course as though it hadn't detected an approaching torp. Anyway, I followed my torp in 3D and hoped it would finish the Ohio off. No such luck, the torp exploded on contact with CM's (I must admit I like this feature in DW). In the meantime the contact on the nav map is still moving in the same direction and speed as though nothing untoward is going on. To cut a long story short, I eventually sunk the Ohio miles away from where TMA said it was. In the replay with show truth on, the Ohio had run from my first torp. Now in SC, the TMA autocrew would have updated its solution (perhaps not immediatly) based on the fact that the target had completely changed direction and speed. The TMA autocrew in DW don't appear to be on the ball like they are in SC.

What do others think?
