In SH3 you can select Manual Targeting, then select Weapons Officer Assistance. It will not update the information automatically, but every time you ask him he will update it for you. It's not exactly the way it was done, and he's way too perfect, but it feels more real than Auto Targeting and is easier than doing it all yourself.

Now we are talking WW2 Germany, U-Boat captain were not chosen for there skill, the rest of the crew was, U-Boat captains were chosen and assingned subs via politics, the more advanced the sub was, the dumber the captain would be, most likely chosen because he got married to one of Hitlers relitives or other powerful persons fat/ugly daughter.
The XO knew what he was doing and just followed the captains orders.
Do you have any evidence for that wild claim? Sure, there are always people who get appointments through good connections, but by-and-large every captain was an XO first, and a lower officer before that, and any good captain knew his boat and his crew inside-out.
