Deck Gun AI

[BoB (Best of Boxes)]

I'd love a feature to either direct the deck guns to fire at a specific target, or not fire unless I'm manually doing so.

The AI doesn't appear to know what it's doing and will just spit rounds in a random direction non-stop while I'm not manning it, which is slightly annoying since I might have to make a course correction while finishing off some ships, and I have to watch the officer shoot five rounds and giggle to himself as they splash against nothing, often in the opposite direction of the ship I'm trying to sink.

this. couldnt agree more. would be nice to have a checkbox on the deck gun to toggle " fire at will", if unchecked the officer manning the gun would hold fire unless given a target.

In the targeting screen, if you choose the officer on the deck gun, it seems they'll aim for the ship selected. Their aim still sucks, but at least you can pick the target.
