Are we going to be able to manually aim guns in the future?

Currently we can only tell the guns to target a ship and they fire automatically without us aiming manually, is this going to be implemented? It can be useful when we wan't to penetrate a ship's certain compartment etc.

I doubt it. UAD is an RTS. With the exceptiong of a few games like Men at War, barely any RTS allows unit fire control. Also, this isnt like WoWs, most battles are long range and with low hit probability. You arent gonna be doing fire solutions, attempting 20 manual salvos with 20 sec reloads to get one single hit.

And aiming to specific compartments is a waste of time except at very short ranges. Naval warfare (at least until the end of WW2) was mostly trying to hit your enemy in the first place. They werent gonna try to hit the engine room from 12km.

Nice suggestion, but its a gimmick imo that wouldnt work with UAD.
