Default Re: Set Direct Fire Target Vs Fire Weapons at Target

Because the "F" key leads to an assault with all weapons.

The "W" key fires the selected weapon line only, with no assault.

Assaults can destroy the largest AFV, but are stressful to the assaulter (depending on morale and luck etc).

I often use the W key to fire the AT weapon only if someone is at 1 hex and I do not want an assault that may leave them pinned at close range beside an angry tank.

SP has always been this way, for 20 odd years.
