Isn't the TMA a little too perfect?

I agree with that. In my opinion the time to first firing solution is about right but if after having a 95% solution the target starts to move around you you may not have a proper course or speed but the range should be pretty accurate for a while.

You may get that feeling from playing Dangerous Waters, but the problem with TMA in that game is that you get bearing updates every 2 minutes (IIRC). A modern sub at flank speed can do a 360 turn in that time, so obviously plotting a new solution might be a bit hard. If somehow you could increase the frequency to a couple of seconds (as I suspect real firing computer can do) it would be much easier.
