Weapons officer assistance in SH3 is an aid, it is a departure from realism. For some reason I feel compelled to refute this claim, and have done so hundreds of times with no effect . I can think of plenty of reasons to use weapon's officer assistance to fire torpedos, but realism is not one of them.
