Manual TDC with FaT / LuT?

When I did my test drives (single missions), I got several hits with salvo of FaT and I didn't do it just once. I think the basics is this:

1. Set the initial run length first. For example: You are at normal course (90 degrees to targets track), distance 2500 m. We assume convoy is approximately 2500 m wide = 2 x 2,5 km = set initial run to be 5000 m.
2. Set direction for the first turn (to port or starboard after initial run, if no target was hit before)
3. Select the distance of 800 or 1600 m, that's the distance torpedo will travel after the first (and second and so on) turn before next turn, this time opposite derection.
4. After initial run it's just pure luck if you get a hit. Usually you'll get something, at least if you launched more than one torpedo.

But this run time???? Haven't heard :hmm:
