I tend to agree with you on all three counts - except I'm too frustrated with the gun crew that I do aim myself - unfortunately, the crew is as bad at gunnery as it's excellent at position keeping.

*) here I shoot by radar only, in the episode that I'll be uploading later this week I'm shooting by sonar only.

The rate at which the crew waists ammo trying to shoot a ship is astounding.

I do all the shooting like you.
