Scenario: Alternate History Scenarios (FEB 2021 - FUSAGIR in Russia)

[DRG]

From the WW2 GG...

If you have not fired at this unit yet select the “T” key or hit the “Target” button and when the unit you wish to fire at is targeted press the “T” key a second time. Pressing the “T” key a second time locks in the target.

FWIW I generally just use the left click to target but I think (maybe.... ) following the above sequence can sometimes get better results.

MBT has much the same worded differently and does mention the Double "T" lock in the single weapons firing section of the tutorial write up ( Pressing the “T” key a second time locks in the target ) .....both guides are large and evolved both together and separately

Targeting an Enemy Unit

Select one tank. In the status bar, note if there are any “Enemy Seen” indicated in the lower left. Keep selecting your tanks until one tank has at least one enemy seen. Then select the “T” key or hit the “Target” button. You will see a red line draw from the tank to the nearest enemy unit.

Now click the “F” key or hit the “Fire” button. Your tank will shoot some or all of its weapons at the enemy tank. You can continue to fire until all your shots (or your ammo) are exhausted.

This is the “smart” way to fire at an enemy unit. You can also simply select your unit, then let your mouse hover over enemy units. If one of them is a valid target, a cross-hairs will appear on it, then click to fire.
