That's completely irrelevant here. With auto targeting, the target only has to be within "detectable" range of visual sensor which is placed on top of periscope mast. The range will of course depend of visual conditions...

If you watch the dials, you will see that the numbers are only updated if you unlock the target after locking it. So the right sequence is not point-and-fire, but lock target/unlock target/aim/fire.

What do you mean by that? You can clearly see in the video that I am not locking or marking anything (I don't use keyboard at all) and that TDC dials are "self adjusted" every time I point the periscope on a different target...
I'm not sure that we understand each other here...
