Who actually uses the PK?

I seldom use OK method. I use rather difficult tweaked settings, so I don't want to be stuck to a fixed position that can leave me broadside to an escort. I prefer to attack as close as possible in the middle of convoys, so I need to get past escorts, which means constant turning and evading. Once I have the TDC set, I'll unlock target and shoot by the wire, setting new bearings as they cross the wire.

I usually am not using the TDC, but if I was I would certainly use the PK.

Part of the reason it seems less useful to you, is due to the limitations of the game. In RL, enemy ships would often zig-zag, and this would in turn often require the sub to maneuver. RL skippers had it harder than we do.
