The Americans use their TDC as a tool to refine the solution, whereas the Germans used theirs simply as a calculating device for the gyro angle. The Germans tried to shoot at the smallest Gyro angles possible, thereby eliminating range from the equation.

Okay, that makes me feel better. The German system automatically updates only the AOB and not the distance like the American system.
Ruby2000, you'd have to change that to have a historically valid system. Sorry
