What I normally do in that instance is as follows:
- open selected tube(s)
- lock scope to target then use WO to ID and plot solution
- If I want to aim at a different part of ship I do it immediately after solution from WO, then unlock scope and pick a new aim point (you'll see the 3 digit bearing indicator change) than I'll check the tick box on the notepad when the cross-hair is in the desired spot and fire straight away. Sometimes I keep the bearing the same as the locked position, but unlock it and let the target move across the scope for the same result

Give it a go and you'll see what I mean.

It's worth while mentioning that I only ever really fire at less than 1000m, preferably 500-600m using this method.
