Absolutely, there would be someone to make the calculations while the captain made the observations. Slide rules and charts would have to suffice to make the calculations. I have a copy of the Submarine Torpedo Fire Control Manual, circa 1950, and it does have quite a few "plates" in the back which contain angles, slopes, etc. It also provides things such as "lead angle for target beyond critical range" and SINa = target speed/torpedo speed. I haven't had a chance to read through it entirely, but I have a lot of respect for someone who can do that and hit a target. BZ!
