This is minor, but increases workload substantially, and seems an oversight. If I am mouse-over a target, that target should populate into the selectable target(s) field. I am sure I am doing something wrong, so please educate me. Thank you.

Shift-F1 is a manual attack. After selecting the unit you want to perform the attack, press Shift-F1 then select the target and it will bring up a window allowing you to allocate weapons from your platform to use.

BOL: Bearing Only Launch. BOL capable weapons may be
launched down a bearing toward a target. Most BOL weapons
have an activation point where their internal sensors are

ordering the launch. With the launching unit selected, use
Keyboard Command for BOL launch is CTRL + F1, and select

While a little harsh, I'm kind of stunned that a basic concept of combat is unknown to anyone that's played the game for longer than a month.

I apologize for the rude comment. I actually learned a bunch from his videos on this game, although I am not sure to understand the will to play that game when you don't know the difference between a Silkworm and a Harpoon, it is beyond me, but probably a different generation (I am old).

Yes, I'm surprised myself . They are plenty of mysteries in the universe. And we even didn't start discussing string theory

I did well with just shift-F1 but now I realize that BOL is implemented I will do even better :-)
