I understand both the argument for and against Automatic Target Identification.
Those who want to play with high difficulty levels do not want it.
The average player does.
Personally I cannot see why the Identification Icon cannot be active and leave it to the player as to whether they want to use it or not.
Depending on the experience of the Captain and Torpedo Officer in SH5 Max Bauer (Gunner) quite a few of the targets would automatically be identified anyway.
I would be the first to agree that unusual/rare targets would need to be manually looked up even for experienced officers.
It does however raise an interesting debate on the subject.
