TDC in Sh5

There certainly was some short comings in the SH4 TDC...one being the ability to hold the solution, but de-couple the bearing so you could "aim" at specific parts of the ship.

We should have been able to gather all the required data and then place the pip where we wanted, "mark" the bearing and fire. Then move the pip at the desired aim point on the ship(bow, stacks, bridge, stern, etc), "re-mark" and fire again using the previous target data, but with the new bearing.

It allowed Skippers like O'Kane(if I remember correctly) to target the center/stacks of the ship, fire, then quickly re-set for the bow and fire, stern and fire, etc.

The manual TDC features is what bugged me the most about SH4...though there were others at the top of my list too.
