About the WO being quick in calculating i wonder if his timing can be slowed down :hmm:

Wrong...
Pick up a Biography or an auto-biography of a U-Boat Commander and all will be clear.
The CAPTAIN DID make the calculations while conducting a submerged periscope attack. He peared through the scope and called out the range, angle on bow, speed, and bearing. That info was then inputted into the TDC.
During a SURFACE ATTACK the First Watch Officer called out the caculations. But since in SHIII the AI is to fast, and hardly ever wrong it is definately NOT REALISTIC to use him.
Open a Book and READ!!!!! You'll see that the Captain called out the calculations on submerged attacks.
If you need a Movie to visualize it, then reflect back on Das Boot. During the first Destroyer Episode it was the CAPTAIN figuring out the data. During the surface attack on the Convoy it was the 1WO.
