I just did a surface attack by using the attack scope

That's what I do as well. I use Hitman's optics though. I ID all my own targets, though a lot of the steamers from the IABLShips pack are hard to distinguish from each other. Fortuneatly most have a mast of 23m.

So all I use the weapons officer for is to pull up the window to reload external torpedos. I still use the watch officer for range about 50% of the time. I sometimes do the entire process submerged though, then I get range from the periscope. I like Hitman's optics, it uses hash marks on the left side and then you refer to a table that will give range by mast height.
