I actually disagreed with this during development. Here's why. The CO is not responsible for doing the plot. He checks it and verifies it, yes, but he doesn't do EVERYTHING. While I still ran RFB I insisted we have an option for putting some of the auto plotting back in as, to me, that was MORE realistic.
Read the following links. Although it's from a 1952 manual, the procedure it describes is the same as what was used by WWII skippers. Just keep in mind, each CO put their own twist on this.
