What am i doing wrong? (manual targeting)

If you want to make manual targeting in SHIII easy, go to this thread:

and download Hitman's Kriegsmarine Whiz Wheel. It makes reducing the data to input into the TDC simple.

Thanks for the info, sir. On a second note, doesnt the fact one has the cpu puting down his contacts on the MAP defeats the point of having the manual targeting on?
I was testing this and i found out all i had to do, should i have the auto mapping on, was to raise the periscope (page up) press F6 and "play" with the manual settings until the green thingy is a little ahead of the target (controling range and what not directly!). At first i thought the TDC would only display what i had collected as i had manual targeting on. NOT. It would already know the distance. Speed and AoB is irrelevant as you simple "point and shoot".

I also found these solutions to be more accurate than if i just find distance, speed and Aob using the game's instruments.
For reference, i'm still talking about the training mission "torpedos".
It would be cool if the god's eyes want more than what you figure out of the target. It wouldnt be so unrealistic and it would spare you the work of marking every relevant position. Another complaint to the Ubi team who made such a complex and beatifull game, yet forgot to had all the instruments one needs to succeed.
Thanks, comments are appreciated
