I ask this because if we talk about realism, then the player task could probably resume to select a target to shot at and nothing else.
Any thoughts on this?

I imagine that the firedirector simply aims directly at a target and designates it as a target.
The rangefinder would be a different crew member.
To lead the target, as you mention from War Thunder, would be done by the computer.
I imagine you have to make choices here yourself for gameplay. "Realisticly" you would not steer the ship either if you were at the firedirector station.
Do you want the player to work for the accuracy or point the aimdot and let randomness control the accuracy?
Letting you lead the target is a simple way of adding rangefinding to the players tasks and making gunnery more interesting.
