It's kind of a half-cheat. With Manual Targeting on, and WE Assistance on, you lock on to the target, then click his icon. Three new buttons pop up. Click the first one and he IDs the target. Click the second and he puts in all the information for you. Click the third and he takes the shot.

The good news is that it feels more real, since the solution is only good for that immediate moment, and quickly fades. The bad news is that he's just as accurate as auto targeting. Good news? No triangles. Bad news? The solution is instant and perfect, every time.

The only advantage I get out of it is that it feels better than full auto. I wish SH4 had it, and I wish it wasn't so perfect.
