The periscope lock feature just simulates you tracking the target visually and did not actually exsist. If you wanted to do it manually you could start the speed watch wait roughly 30 to sixty seconds and then point your scope on the exact same spot on the target and hit the stop the watch again to calculate speed. As for the weapons officer position, I like to think that as I am looking down at the accurate plot my Number 1 officer is feeding me the information. Surely I cannot be two places at once!
