how does tma autocrew calc range?

thx for the response. it just seems like the range jumps around alot when tma autocrew is turned on, by alot. This is when i've been tracking him for a while. At first i thought this was a time compression thing but it does it alot without tc. Even changes when i have the periscope up and can see him visually. One minute he's 10000 yds, then poof he's 20000 yds. 5 minutes later he's 30000 yds, when he really hasn't changed.

I'm still learning the basics of the game so haven't done my own tma yet.

I like using TMA autocrew, as it helps you sort out all the multiple contacts you usually get in thick missions. I don't see this as tweaking realism, as not only a real life skipper has crewmen to do things for him, but also ... lets face it... the TMA results are usually far from precise and, once you get your priorities straight, then you can assume TMA by yourself when most of the boring work has been done (such as sorting out those speedboats and what the hell they are doing, if they are coming near to a dangerous area where they can be accidentaly 'found' by your torps...)
