Default When playing as a ship.

I lately have been having fun playing as a ship instead of a sub.
first let me say I think the models are fantastic, I like them so much I keep trying different ones.

Now when I go on a mission as the popup comes up asking if I want to attack, maintain current orders or submerge, if I choose attack the ship fires it's cannons at the enemy target/s.
Then moving on after it has destroyed many of them the ship stops firing but there are still enemy ships close by, they are firing at the ship but no response unless I tell the crew to man the deck guns, I can't understand why it stops firing, any ideas please?

Slightly different subject, there are a few more 'Playable' ships I would love to try but they are not 'Human Playable' I keep trying to tweak them so I can use them but I need help, someone to show me what files to change and how, any offers please?

Col.

In Data\Cfg gameplay settings scroll to the bottom of the file and change the MiscSettings to like they are below, it stops the popup that comes up asking if you want to attack, maintain current orders or submerge, as for your other problem, someone might come along who knows the answer to it.

[MiscSettings]
AlwaysAutotargeting=1,1,1,1,1;for warships, merchants, uboats, air and land targets

How do you do that, is this a special mod you must load?
Thanks,

There are a few 'Human Playable' ships that can be downloaded.
If you do download any, read the instructions because some only play in career some in single missions.
Then use the JSGME to put them in your sim, also some I've found work better than others, some also fire torpedoes.

I found some on other people's posts, they sometimes have a link to their downloads, some have the ships.
I created a folder on my desktop named Playable Ships and I put them in there then I try different ones.

I am still trying to get a couple to work as 'Human Playable' but not having much luck, I have asked for help on another thread but as yet had no replies.
Also I am trying to change the Nationality on them to try them to play on the other side.

I have just downloaded and I'm playing the 'Asashio DD Playable'. This one is really huge, an incredible work
Works perfect in my special modified FOTRSU package where I changed to the stock campaign to fullfill the SH4 1.5 version which this mod requires.
I wonder how this will play out in a campaign. The single mission alone is a keeper. OMG, a renegade non-Japonese crew
