Manual targetting with arty

[Slick Wilhelm]

I'm not sure whether this is a bug or is WAD(working as designed), so I thought I'd throw it out here:

While playing the arty tutorial, I was getting frustrated in not being able to tell my gunners which unit to target. I kept clicking on the green "manual target" button, then I'd get the icon with the crosshairs on it, click on the target....and then my gunners would blithely ignore my suggestion and continue shooting at whatever target the AI had assigned to them.

Through some trial & error, I discovered that in order for them to target what I wanted them to shoot at, I had to click on the green "inf target" button first, then click the "manual target" button.

So it seems the button-pushing process is:

1)Type of target
2)Manual target

Was there a reason why this has to be a two-step process instead of a one-step process?

Could be a bug. We have to check.

Was it ordered for a single gun or through the battery commander?

This was when trying to select a target for each gun.

This would be a bug if we can recreate what you describe. It should not be a two step process.
