It has the advantage of allowing you to calmly set diferent angles and fire, as the TDC/PK will be constantly keeping up with the target.

Now, those crafty methods come in handy when you have, say, a damaged computer or an u-boat on your hands - specially so with u-boats, as it's computing device is archaic and its accuracy decreases seconds after you made an gyroangle estimate.

The PK does not affect the spread, it keeps the bearing updated so you dont have to send a new bearing, place crosshairs over MOT, send bearing and range and fire, can wait few seconds and fire again, the PK updates the bearing so torpedos would not fire at the last bearing but the updated bearing based off your last bearing, the spread dial of course adjusts this.
