Even with map contacts off and manual targetting.. you can get assisted targeting if you want.

I had it set to full real for this mission. Was milling about the eastern coast of britain when i saw a patroling destroyer.

I was able to get within striking distance, so i figured i'd try to hit em just to see if i could. but it was obvious he was on some type of random patrol pattern and wouldn't drive straight long enough for me to get a manual solution on em. But then i noticed i noticed a "Turn off TDC" option in the weapon officer's menu.

So i did it, and the assisted targetting info came up on the popout map. I never saw the enemy ship's silhoutte on it mind you... but i did see his projected "path" with the timing cues on it. It was enough information to figure out the course to turn onto for a good intercept.

So i drove in.. and when my torpedoe's "time 3" reached the destoyer's "time 3" i fired off a spread of 4, and i sunk him.

Ridiculously easy.
