TMA, no DEMON, no LOS switch

His opponent will be able to get an immediate rough range while he will have to wait for his TA to stabilize and get another line or two before he gets one.

That's only going to be the case if he's beaming you. If he's headed toward or away from you an LOS switch is safe. But yeah, if he's beaming, it makes sense to make course changes without switching the LOS.
