Solutions from the Weapons Officer

I'm a NooB and recently have made the jump from the Uber total CPU control of targeting (so I could practice setting up the shot) to using the weapons officer to do it for me. I'm slowly and painfully moving forward to doing it all myself. I'm sure that instills the utmost confidence in my crew and WO when I turn to him and say: "So the AoB is 150 degrees... right?"

Anyway, does it make a difference if you have a "Torpedo man" as your weapons officer? If I asked the ships doctor for a firing solution would he come up with a totally different set of numbers?

I never realized you had to manually open the tubes. Come to think of it when I fire the torpedo there always was a pause before it left the boat. Oh great. Now my WO is looking at me like: DUH?!?!?!
