Is there a weapons officer in SH4?

have activated the option for somebody (besides me) to ID the target.

I don't remember reading about this before, is this something undocumented? Could you expound on it a little? If I am reading you right, you automatically get a ship ID for targets you are tracking? When in the process does this happen? You are using manual targeting yes? Does this have the effect of lowering your realism level whether its reflected in the game or not?
