So there are a couple of issues with Autotargeting I have noticed
1. The manual override does not seem to work, or the computer switches back. When I click on a target, it means I want my ship to fire on that target, not switch, no matter how close other targets may be. If I mess up a scenario by miss allocating targets, that's on me. But If I put my guns on target X it means I want my ship to shoot target X, period. I don't want them shifting to target y. I want to turn off auto targeting completely. Right now it feels like the only real control I have over combat in the game is building the ship.
2. I have said this before in other posts, but the auto target priority is messed up. BBs fire main guns at other BBs, they do not fire main guns at DDs or CLs unless there are NO other target options. THE DD and CL are simple too fast for the BB mains to target effectively, this is the entire point of secondary batteries.
