Frusturating AI Gunners

I downloaded a battleship and I tried to take it into a enemy task force and engage enemy battleships. As I moved closer to the task force, the battleships in the task force started to engage me, however, my gunners did not engage the battleships and instead engaged one of the small cruisers, even when the cruiser was farther away from me than the battleships.

Is there a way to change the target my gunners are engaging?

Well, normally you can direct the fire of your deckgun through either the periscope or the TBT by first locking onto the target ship and then hitting the button that focuses fire (next to various deckgun buttons, not sure which).


Periscope is out with most battleship mods, tho.

Whatever you do will be a workaround and a punishment for mistaking a submarine simulator for something quite different. For shame! You took on a boat so crippled you can't even submerge! You DESERVE to die.

And you wonder why you can't hit anything? You have inferior equipment. There are only two kinds of ships: submarines (yay!) and targets (that would be you).

I am going to borrow Jackie Fischer's invention and use it: OMG!

I can only imagine a submarine dashing gallantly in the midst of a task force, firing it's single, puny little deck gun, being shelled from all directions. I figure it's admiral farragut there in the conning tower, saying "damm the hundreds of 15-inches shells flying all around us! Full speed ahead!"
