The American TDC could track the target's predicted heading from the u-boat
without a visual contact. You put in all the data, set it off and then it constantly
updated the heading to target.
This had the advantage of telling you how good your solution was. i.e. if it
is a good solution then the predicted heading will match the visual one. However,
it was not much use for no-visual attacks as it multiplied any error in the initial
inputs by the time since the last visual check.

As I'm playing SH4 now I have left map updates on.. Cause I want to make sure my solutions are correct.. How to double check the solution in an American TDC.. The german only solves the giro angle so you can set it b4. This can't be don in an american sub cause the tdc isn't linked directly to the scope.
