There is a lot more to Weapon Officer Assistance than range estimates. There is target identification and firing solution calculation. h.sie's patch introduces uncertainty into visual range estimates only. And, if you are submerged and making periscope observations yourself, you aren't using the Watch Officer (not the Weapons Officer) to give you range estimates anyway. If you have auto plotting updates active, you will get exact positions on the attack plot, not estimates.

I could wish that someone would tackle the task of introducing uncertainty into Target ID, assisted speed estimation, plot position, etc. But since I am not willing to undertake this challenging task myself, I can't in good conscience ask anyone else to do it. So I live with the limitations Ubisoft programmed into the game.
