From what I remember, in both cases you are spoon fed a solution, the only difference is that with WO assistance, you can pretend you are still using manual TDC.

Manual TDC with weapon officer assistance gave you a lot more flexibility in how you want to tackle the game. The scalable realism appeals to a lot of people.
I used to go with manual targetting, and when I was learning how to fire, I'd set up my own solution, and then ask for the WO for a solution, and see where I'd gone wrong. I'm having a hard time learning the US TDC because I don't have that option anymore - when I'm wrong, I don't know how.
Or I'd have the option, if I was in a situation that allowed me time, of manually making solutions - but if I only had a few moments to take a shot at the target, I still had the option of using a WO solution.
Or I could use a WO solution to give me a starting point, and then update it/tweak it myself, if I were so inclined.
Having the manual TDC/WO option gave you a lot more flexibility in how you played the game. As it is currently, it's either extremely easy, or extremely difficult. The game suffers a lot by not having this option anymore.
