Of course...What would be a point of real navigation with map contacts all around you...

EDIT:
You can also disable manual targeting and TDC will adjust correct torpedo solutions automatically, handy for quick and correct checking...

Here's what I got...

OK! I got it to work! I don't know what I did wrong before. Maybe it was right before but I could not measure it since I had the Real Nav mod enabled.

I disabled it and changed the realism settings to allow for map contacts, and then fired up the RAOBF historical mission, and it seems to work.

I get more accurate range readings with the stadiometer though. But I think this will work. I was able to get good range and AOB readings, and I can use the stopwatch to get speed using length * 1.94 / time.

I think I'm ready to tackle the British with Real Nave and No Map Contacts!

I replaced the later RAOBF included with TWoS back to the original version because I found it too bright when trying to gather data in low light conditions. Also the later version has all the markers in red as opposed to two black and one red as per the tutorial. The original is more "yellow" and not as bright as the later version and was less distracting because I always found myself trying to conduct an attack at dawn or dusk or during the night. I tried a few times to change the textures to like dark with light markings but they didn't look very good using the limited tools at my disposal. HINT! texture guru's!! Once you get familiar with the operation of the ROABF and spinning the centre ring, it only takes seconds to gather the information to input into the TDC with the exception of timing to get the speed of the target.

Yeah it would be nice to see the gradients re-done so they did not look like minecraft.
