Like I said though I haven't found the code that controls the weapons yet so it's all pure speculation.

Makes sense to me. The one doubt I have is: are engagements bi-univocal in game? In other words: if an unit is attacked, does it aumatically lock its guns on the attacker? This is probably of secondary importance for surface engagements, but crucial for aircraft turrets to be used correctly during dogfights
