If you select manual targeting, but keep weapons officer assistance in the realism options you can acheive this.
You can then identify the target yourself and use the orders interface to ask the WO to calculate the firing solution. If you are unsure about the target recognition, you can also ask the WO ti identify the target.
With these options selected, you are also free to calculate the firing solution yourself - so you have the best of both worlds.
Edit: The option for him to calculate the firing solution is accessed by clicking on the WO's image at the bottom left of the screen, a number of options will come up, and you click on the 'calculate firing solution' order. If you want to personally identify the target, do so before making the WO calculate the solution, otherwise his calculation may be imprecise.
