Have your crew man the deck gun, and "Target nearest warship", once they shoot a shot, then try manning the gun yourself, and see if it's not partially aimed at the attacker then.

what you say is true....that is one tool to use.

there is also the command: Report_nearest_visual_contact
you get bearing and range...in feet, though. why in feet? no idea.

anyway, that will give you the data to the NEAREST. as was stated previously in this thread, you may want to shoot at an enemy which is NOT the nearest.
