that last sentence of yours is correct fireship4, thanks. It's just that TDC is so much easier to write than Vorhaltsrechner, and we (most of us) understand it just fine.

@ the debate in general

So in my readings, I came across suggestions that the TDC (Vorhaltsrechner) was able to account for changes in U-boat's own course.

You will all note that this was not a feature of the TDC as rendered in SH3 and SH4UBM, in which changes of U-boat own course messed up the TDC solution.

Hitman at one time confirmed with me that this is correct, that the TDC (VHR) could account for changes in U-boat heading, although i never saw any unequivical evidence to support it.

If this is true, it would be great if this feature were implemented in the SH5 TDC model
