Weapons officer... really needed?

There is something i have been wondering about the weapon officer.
I have him selected in the realism options but i practically never use him.

1/ When you are looking in the periscope, if you move the crosshair over a ship, in the notepad you will get cargo, coastal vessel etc... Does this disappear without the weapon officer?

2/In stock SHIII, when i clicked or double clicked on where it says SHIPS in the notepad, it would open the ship recognition manual at the right page. Is this disabled with GWX? Is this what people mean when they say the WO identifies targets?
