Force gun crew to my target?

K1lted · 06-09-07, 09:22 AM

I find it really frustrating when I surface near a convoy and my gun crew starts targetting the freighters instead of the destroyers, even when I have got a destroyer as a locked target. Is there a way to force them to target what I am looking at or otherwise select their target for them as they are clearly just grunts with no intelligence of their own!

Thanks in advance

I don't remember exactly, but you look at the target in the regular binos, and when the X is on it, there is a key to press. It might also light a button upon the row below to set the target.

Yeah use the binos on the target you want blown up and press space and the gun crew will kill it to death (eventually), you're better off doing it yourself though.

Does the gun crew get more 'experience' if I let them do it rather than manning the deck gun myself, manually?

I believe so though I usually do it myself, so I'm not sure.

My guys are so skilled it's pathetic and still waste 1/3 of the ammo even at ranges of 600 yards. I would gripe about it but I kinda like shooting the big gun myself.
