[Q] Manual targeting

[ppk]

I'm starting to get relatively good with this and can come up with decent solutions but only if I carefully make observations at a dead stop. The little routine of flanking and then slipping between the side and lead DD's is good enough too but the problem I'm having is if I need to maneuver the boat (say an escort is getting too close for comfort) after setting up the shot then it's generally too late to fix a new solution and I have to resort to letting the weapon officer do it. I'm all for realism but after all, it's still a video game and I don't want to let the 15-20 minutes of ''work'' that I did positioning and sneaking in just go to waste...

So this isn't really a question after all, but I'm looking for tips and tricks to help with manual targeting on the move. And for setting up snapshots against escorts at close range too, because I've tried and miserably fail every time so I also let the w.o. take care of those.
