Hi, I'm new to this game. I have a few questions about both types of FCS regarding both technical and gameplay issues.
1) I have read multiple forum threads that encourage the use of Manual FCS. However, after comparing all FCS up to the CA stage, I notice that there is no accuracy difference between Auto and Manual. In fact, Auto FCS has a further scan range. Thus, other than practicing for the BB stage, is there any reason at all for me to use Manual FCS during the CA stage and below?
2) When it comes to the using the Manual FCS, it's great when i have the option to have the firing lines cross each other for close range. I have no problem playing around with the controls at long range. However, when ships start to close into my ship, i find myself facing difficulty guessing the gun angles to shoot according to the enemy's relative position. This is problem i face all the time in Blitzkrieg Mode. May I have some opinions from players who have encountered this issue?
3) I saw somewhere on the forums that using Auto FCS will impose a XP penalty on my sailors. Is this true?
4) After reading some threads on preparing for the BB stage, i notice they encourage players having gunners who are much higher level than the BO, and the support sailors trailing the BO. While doing so may increase the performance of the guns, I'm curious as to why the support sailors should be of a lower level than the BO?
5) Continuing for question 4, is it really a practical method to achieve high performance in your ships? counting in Credits, Points for creating the sailors and time etc?
Thank you for for your time.
