Manual Targeting in TMO different from stock game?

The analog of that is our attack map, a much maligned and poorly understood part of SH4. Some mods, RFB being notable, actually took away button bar and keyboard access to the attack map, a very unfortunate decision.

Did some thinking re:lighted dot you refer to and one has to wonder how did it get the information for moving on the course and speed of the target...

Could it possibly have been by the methods previously discussed and then placed in this makeshift MoBo?

That may be where your error is coming in.

You could be on to something.
