Default Mod request -ship attacking with 20 mm and 3.7 cm

Dear all modders....

I'm sure you get lots and lots of requests all the time, but please bear over with me.

From what I've read in different book (memoirs etch.), it was often practised to use ALL weapons of the boat during gun action.

So, is it possible to copy the deck gun commands to the oerlikons and heavy AA gun?? Perhaps even a set for each platform.

Thing is, I've had lots of success attacking the gun of a enemy ships with my 20 mm machinegun (mostly merchants and some lightly armed warships), when close enough and I'm even able to sink light ships (small merchant, coastal merchant) with the 3.7, when loading the armour piercing ammo.
But handling 2x 20 cal oerlinkons and a 3,7 heavy AA gun at the same time is a bit too much and my aim stinks anyway.

What I REALLY would like was to order my oerlikons to attack either the gun or the bridge.
The 3.7 could assist the 20 mm with the enemy gun, or just help the 8,8/10.5 cm and maybe help to preserve some deck gun rounds. Reason I would love to have different target options for the heavy and light AA guns, is that the 20 mm is wasted on the hull.

So that’s my plea....

If its possible to make it, I would be.... It would be.... You would be....
Well, that would be swell...

If anything is out there already please tell...

I like the idea. Sounds like good fighting spirit.
And even it´s only if you´re in a doomed situation...

Maybe it´s possible...(Screenshot is from official SH3 page)
