Why brag about manual targetting?

[Riggsie15]

Look play how you want. I partially cheat, I do do manual targeting but once the info is put into the TDC I go to the attack map and look at th erun lines of the torps. If I don't like it I ether go back to the scope and get more accurate info or tweak the solution on the attack map. AS for AOB calculation I sometimes not all the time go to the nav map and use the protractor.

Even when the ship is zig-zagging, manual targeting isn't that hard; you just aim up for a 90 degree shot and and when the timing is right quickly redo the calculations and fire away.

I'm fine with this method be cause it still dosen't give a perfect down the center shot and in real life the WO madethe calculations but I also know in some US boats it was also the WO who looked down the scope and gathered the info.
