Default Semi auto map update / TDC

Right now we have only two options as far as the map goes.

1. Automatic map update.
2. No map updates.

No. 1 makes things too easy, it basically makes the game into a 3d person sub shooter.

No. 2 has you screw..., ehm., propelloring around too much updating contacts manually.

What about a 3rd. option?
A form of semi-manual updating.
What I mean is, you (as captain) take baering and range readings through the scope or TBT. And 'the crew' updates the map for you. What else have you got a crew for?

This way you dont have too fiddle around updating the map yourself, i.e. you can spend more time in places wich are more important to a commander like the bridge, scope etc.
But it wouldnt make things too easy either, the map would only be as accurate as your readings.

This method could also be applied to the TDC. You take the bearing and range, the crew does the rest. I cant imagine a real sub skipper doing everything by himself.

I hope sombody from the dev. team will read this. (Or someone who can put turn this into a mod.)
