Sure it's not easy getting a good range with the stadimeter in rough seas, but it is possible. I've been using that method for a long time with manual targeting and hit over 90%. So it is possible to use effectively.
FWIW, the weapons officer had no responsibility in regards to obtaining targeting information on German uboats. It's been talked about plenty, this was indeed the job of the captain or the exec perhaps when surfaced. Using the WO for targeting is fine if that's your thing, but the information that the WO gives in SH3 is an aid, and an always prefectly accurate one at that, something to make the sim easier, not more realistic in any way.
