TDC in Sh5

Sure you can... I do it all the time.

Once you have a viable solution running with the PK wait until you are the firing point. Make sure you are in Range/Bearing mode on the TDC and then unlock the target, point your scope at the point of the ship you want to hit and hit the "Send" button once. Fire. Move the scope to the second position, hit the send button again and Fire. Rinse, later repeat.

Been working like a charm for me for a couple of years.
