Question on Understanding TDC in Manual

I've gotten fairly proficient at conducting attacks using the 90 degree method. However, while I think I understand how the TDC works I haven't had much luck attacking using anything but clsoe to 90 degrees in manual.

If I have a target centered in the periscope/UzO, and then manually enter the correct range, speed and AOB, the TDC should calculate the correct solution regardless of the relative bearing of the target to my boat, right? If I guess/interpret/calculate the range, AOB, and speed correctly it shouldn't matter what the target's relative bearing is when I fire (other than the dynamics of the eels having to turn after they leave the boat).

Now if I move the periscope AFTER I've locked in this data to the TDC, the TDC should recalculate the solution based on the target having moved relative to the original data, correct? Or am I all messed up with my understanding?
