Hello

In response to
Why I find 'The Tiger and the Dragon' frustrating

I�ve seen some discussion that states that the AI fires more SSM/ASM that are really needed, wasting them, and knowing that if I enable �No AI fire� option my units won�t defend from incoming missiles/air attacks, wouldn�t it be cool to add a new option as in the old Jane�s Fleet Command: �Ships auto-engage Incoming missiles�

So I would add both options:

No AI fire�weapons tight�no fire
Ships auto engage Incomming Missiles/Hostile aircrafts�AI can only allocate SAM and AAA fire.

At least, if I�m in palying actions in one place, my ships in another place will defend automatically and won�t waste SSM.

Another solution that can work is as Thewood1 and others says (more micromanage?):
-Semi-auto fire: Ai allocations but asking the player to confirm or override allocations made by the AI

What do you think?

I think that's what's happening now?

You can have weapons tight or have control over offensive and ships will auto-defend.

Skyhigh: Are you sure?

I tried AI fire off, and my ships did't fire any SAM in first contact 2016.

That's what I see. Turning Auto Firing "off" shuts down all AI shooting; with AI Auto firing "on" ships will still not auto fire SSMs (unless assigned to an ASuW mission as in Tiger and Dragon).

Read that thread better, you'll see.
