It's difficult, and I've started a new campaign with manual targetting...
It is worth 'learning' and doing once or twice, but may get tedious for a whole campaign...
BUT - the sense of satisfaction when you hit a ship, and you made the fire solution, is much greater than letting the computer do it.
I only wish you could chose during a mission whether to let the XO do it, or whether to do it yourself... rather than have to chose one or the other at the start.
But my tonnage has gone WAY down since doing it myself, as it takes time to set up a solution, so no more popping up in the middle of a convoy and firing of torps left right and centre.
