Understanding battle strategies...newbie question

[tbontob]

Yes, I can understand and appreciate wanting to keep a strategy or strategies secret. A lot of effort, testing, trial and error went into learning it. And to divulge it may mean that the next game may be more difficult to win.

That being said, I think there is a difference between
a) How the strategy menu actually works and
b) The particular strategy a player employs.

Under a), for example, we have choices under the "Tageting Priority Order" of the Firing tab, but how does the computer implement our choices?

It does not seem to be in order of possibility like the Primary/Secondary Choices under the Movement Tab.

What algorithym does the computer use? Do the four choices we make have equal weight or does the computer assign values to our choices like:
First choice 40%
Second choice 30%
Third choice 20%
Fourth choice 10%

Any comments?
