help me bring my ADD gun crew back in line
 

i have a bit of a problem with my gunners not firing on targets i choose, for some reason when i tell them to man the guns (balao) and start shooting at a merchant i surfaced next to, they decide they would be better off shooting at the destroyer 5000Y away :damn:
im using the binoculars and setting the target like i should, but they take one shot and then go off on their own. its the same when i play as the multitude of lovely battleships people have released.

i have made sure that the fire at will option was off beforehand if that makes any difference...damn insolent crew :nope:

Strange never heard of this one, then again I done usually surface when there are multiple targets about.

Look at the ship with your binocs and tap the space bar, that should do it. :hmm:

spacebar/command button all does the same, the fire at will button turns on and then they pick targets as they please

I'm guessing that the AI sees the destroyer is a bigger threat (even at distance), the crew's not thinking too highly of you for firing at a merchie instead. :arrgh!:

Remember, 5000 yards on the surface is NOTHING for a destroyer to cover. Even if you hit the merchie several times then decided to try evading the DD, he'll be on you before you can even submerge.

that range was made up, it also happens regardless of "threat value" for instance the single mission that came with the downloaded north carolina battleship has a line of ships to shoot at with a yamato at the front. my crew decides that a mogami is more important to shoot at then the yamato
