The Captain looks through the periscope and the Exec reads the stadimeter and notes the bearing. The Captain focuses the periscope and the Exec notes the range. Together they double-check the calculations. While the Captain does have help, everything depends on him using the periscope properly. If he has the wrong settings then the calculations will be wrong no matter who does them.

The targeting computer is like a modern computer - Garbage In, Garbage Out.

Thanks folks. For surface attacks I won't feel bad then using 'assist'. Eventually I'll try to learn to use the 'computer' for submerged attacks.

I use WE Assistance for everything. I dislike that he's so perfect, but I just can't get manual targeting.

And thank you for posting. That may sound silly on the face of it, but you'd be amazed at how many post that one greeting and are never heard from again. We appreciate everyone who actually gets involved.
