How does the Advanced Cannon Laser Targeter work?

It seems to do nothing so I assume I am doing somthing wrong.

It's one useful if your shell has the appropriate fuse, and to the best of my knowledge needs to be directly on the firing piece.

I'll have to test that.

If you're talking about missiles, ether attached directly to the firing piece, or change the setting of the laser, by press Q on it. It also likely still needs a missile controller, and weapons AI controller.

Ah, sorry I was unclear. I was asking about the one for Advanced Cannons.

I don't remember, but I think it may be related to the proximity fuse part, as it would be a reasonable way to measure distance.

I believe it lets the gun automatically set fuse values for the various shell fuses, for example I THINK you can do stuff like making it so a shell will explode on a automatically-set timer to blow up near the target,f or example. Good for AA flak guns.

Also works for altitude, so your cannon will automatically set altitude the shell will explode at, if I remember correctly.
