Need some advice for manual plotting

I know this doesnt appeal to a lot of players, but rather than pausing I like to let my fire control team help out a bit. I simulate this by allowing contacts to be shown on the map . It simulates the fire control team estimating the range and plotting it on the map, and eliminates the need to pause. You still have plenty to do if you dont want to pause the game, and with fast moving convoy with escorts the time factor does put pressure on you to be efficient with your method.
Ideally, I would like to simulate the fire control team by having the computer show only the contacts you have identified in the scope, and a higher level of difficulty would plot it based on your range estimate and bearing. In a way, this is done on the attack map. but we cant mark the attack map so you cant do a time/distance calculation without keeping the scope up.
