I'm having issues with automatic aiming and hitting forts accurately (I have 10 accuracy). What near enough always seems to happen is that the cannons aim far too high and end up missing the cannons on the forts, which goes the same for my fleet. I've attached one example of this happening, which I tried to capture to the best of my ability without getting blasted.
As the attached print-screen shows, a few cannons have been knocked out, but only through luck as the ship behind mine got a couple, and I scuffed a couple more with one salvo. Of course, I thought I should try manual aiming, but can hardly get the option to shoot, and when I do, it aims too low or flies right over. I've managed to score a couple of hits this way, but suffer too much damage trying to get perfect hits and is not preferable.
I spent a good amount of gold on the fleet to the tune of ~2million gold. One ship has already been sunk and couple of others badly damaged. I made a save before the battle, so I can just restart once I can destory the cannons as I should be able to. A full fleet on Apprentice difficulty and ship upgrades should be able to destory the Bridgetown fort without getting creamed, which has happened the past few times I've tried this, but alas have fallen victim to bizzare automatic aiming.I understand the ships may not be first rate ship of the lines, but they are all class 4 purpose build war ships which have been upgraded, as well as upgrades for the captains controlling the ships to take less damage, which is the same for me.
If I'm far back enough, I manage to score a few cannon knockouts, but at this time the fleet is practically sunk with me not far from a watery grave. I know I've probably gone on a bit here, but I've just come off it a bit annoyed, but if I can find a way to do this that would be great. It could be my own ignorance of something, or it could be an actual issue with the aiming. Automatic aiming is great for ship battles, just that it seems dodgy for fort battles.
