U-boats didn't have an officer specifically called a "Weapons Officer", but the 1WO (First Watch Officer, or Executive Officer on U.S. boats) backed up the captain during the attack. It would be extremely difficult in real life to make the calculations, set the Torpedo Data Computer and make rapid-fire changes all by yourself.
I agree, SHIII's WO is too quick and too accurate, but I use him anyway-it takes a few seconds to click his icon and ask for the solution, so that is extra time the scope is up, increasing your chance of being spotted. And I also agree that he shouldn't reduce the games 'realism'.
And no, you don't have to click the checkbox.
