Use your binoculars! Look at the target through the binocs. A small icon will appear when you are focused on the target. Hit the spacebar to lock it for the cannon crew. They will begin firing!

Thanks for all the responses! When I use the deck gun station I don't see anything. I just cliked on the AA station and I could see the AA firing and the deck gun also. So I guess it's working properly. How do I get in the binocular view? Just got this game so I'm sure I'm asking stupid questions. I go to the bridge but I don't see any binoculars I can use. Are you talking about the TBT view?

The binocular station is a special mode for the "on the bridge" station, with a different zoom factor. You can switch between the 2 modes by using the mouse wheel or the TAB key. The TAB key (and mouse wheel) works on all stations that support zoomimg: bridge, deck gun, aa gun, navigation map, periscope, TBT.

Or just press B from any station.

Your AA gunner will fire if you tell him too! Click on the interface for inbound targets(aircraft) or fire at will. As for the cannon, man the cannon. Get yourself to the bridge. Press 'B' for the binocular view. Once done, look at the target with the binoculars. A small icon will appear. Press the space bar to lock the gunners on the target you want them to fire at. At this point you can select aim for hull or command deck, etc.

Thanks to everyone. I love this game! I accidently hit the zoom on the bridge and voila, the binocs! Thanks again.
