While it is true that a captain would be able to do the range calculations and plotting of firing positions himself, he has a crew and officers trained and tasked with plotting.

In real life the captain would make use of his officers, while using his own knowledge to estimate for preliminary planning and to judge the accuracy of his officers calculation.

Many players complain about having to micromanage the crew fatigue issues, yet want to micromanage the plot. To each his own.
