Secondary fire question

[theGregKhan]

I scoured the wiki page and others but still cannot figure this out:  what does setting secondary fire coordination target do when you don't have the captain skill?  Also, if it has an effect, does it stack with ship upgrades? 

 

Thanks in advance!

when you dont have the lvl 4-5 skill just concentrate fire on that ship thawt you mark do not give a dmg bonus like the skill its like marking a planes when you dont have the lvl 4 skill just center a little more the fire in the target

I believe it sets that as the priority target so that if a secondary has multiple targets available it will fire at that one. Otherwise I believe it is just set to fire at closest within range.

It tells the secondariesto shoot at that particular target, if it's in range. That's it.

 

Example: you have a cruiser and a DD in range of your secondaries, and you think that the DD is more dangerous. In that case you concentrate fire on it, so AI doesn't all of the sudden decide to shoot at the cruiser instead. However, if the selected target is outside some or all secondary guns, they'll continue shooting at other targets -- e.g. you can concetrate on a DD on port side, and secondaries on starboard will still fire at another target that might be there.

 

With AA you also get a 1.3 damage bonus, but no damage bonus for secondaries as far as I know.
