Has anyone done this?

Should I not update the bearing and range? Or is that what the Position Keeper is for, and should I turn that on before anything else?

You didn't mention the Q key, but one problem with the programming - if you hit the fire key and the tube is not open, the crew will open the outer door then fire the torpedo automatically. Which is a guaranteed miss every time, because the gyro angle at the moment the fire command is given is set, and the few seconds delay to automatically open the outer door means the target has moved.

If you're not doing it already make sure you hit the Q key to open the outer doors BEFORE doing the "final bearing and shoot".
