I like to keep WO on, just for confirm the identification of ships and I never use him to compute a fire solution.
I mean, I always do the ID process by myself and then, when I have choosen the target ID, I just ask for the WO "opinion" to know if I guessed correctly or not.
In this way I'm able to estimate my successful IDs rate and is something around 80%.
About manual targeting: I'm currently playing my very first war patrol (secondo patrol in GWX, starting in 1939) and I'm doing manual tageting.
I think it is no difficult, and indeed a fun part of the game.
The method mentioned by Nukesub, the "Fast 90° attack" is a good starting point.
Then you can read and learn about the "Straight shot" and the "Perfect shot" methods (you can find a document about them if you download hsGUI mod). Here is
a post in which I talk about them.
