Is there a way to ask the WO for a solution?

In the SH4 manual, listed under realism options, it has Manual Targeting System as you'd expect. But it also has:

No Weapons Officer Assistance:When selected, the Weapons Officer will not identify targets or calculate firing solutions for you. You must determine range, speed, and Angle On Bow (AOB) by yourself. (6%)

As far as I can see, this option does not actually exist in the game.

Back in SH3, I'd play with manual targetting, but if I wanted to double check my solution, or if I had to make a snap solution under pressure, I'd ask my weapons officer. Or when I was learning how to use the TDC manually, I'd make a solution, and then ask the WO for a solution, and see where I went wrong.

Has this method of gameplay been removed from the game completely?

It seems as though you can only have unrealistic arcadey instant auto-targetting, or extremely difficult completely unassisted targetting. Is the happy in-between that existed in SH3 gone?
