If it's true that the majority of the S boats did not have TDC, what method of firing do you use?

You might start here to do it the way they really did:

Also there is some evidence that even the early fleet boats didn't have a TBT until 1943, or even 1944:

I wrote a tutorial to explain how to quickly calculate the deflection angle with the SACF, but it can also be done with any slide ruler that has a Sine scale
