[TEC] Super easy manual TDC info gathering With Pics!

I'm against map updates, even in SH5. Stadimeter shows distance little of, but range estimations for estimating speed are equally off, so you can get correct speed. Atleast I think...

What I do is I'll try to reach about one kilometer distance (at this distance stadimeter is accurate enough) at good angle to fire. On the way to good firing position, I take sightings of the target, mark them on the map (Also mark my own position to see my relative speed at the enemy). Then I draw line through these marks and get reasonably accurate course for enemy ship. Not every shot is a success, but enough to give a feeling that you can do your job! Here is screenshot of one of my approaches. I get the AOB from the estimated enemy course. I fired 2 torpedoes with correct data in tdc, and then third a little later (wich was a mistake, because the data was not valid anymore... it missed.)

But all I wan't to say is that even if stadimeter is not what it should, you can use it and play the game with map updates off.
