I tend to agree with you on all three counts - except I'm too frustrated with the gun crew that I do aim myself - unfortunately, the crew is as bad at gunnery as it's excellent at position keeping.

*) here I shoot by radar only, in the episode that I'll be uploading later this week I'm shooting by sonar only.



Nice job!

The rate at which the crew waists ammo trying to shoot a ship is astounding.

I do all the shooting like you.
