Default Hey, have we been duped on the Kreigsmarine TDC?

I just read this on the USS Pampanito's website:

The U.S. Navy thus had a system that would point the torpedoes at a target as the fire control problem developed. The TDC Mark III was the only torpedo targeting system of the time that both solved for the gyro angle and tracked the target in real time. The comparable systems used by both Germany and Japan could compute and set the gyro angle for a fixed time in the future, but did not track the target. Thus the idea of the position keeper, and its iterative reduction of target position error was unique to the U.S. Navy, and represented a distinct advantage.

The TDC in my IXC seems to work like the USN TDC! That little gyro wheel spins as the target moves. What the *******! Too bad. The German type TDC sounds like more of a challenge.

This whole time I thought I was a super Kaluen.

Oh well. I guess the devs wont have to make a new TDC for SHIV...
