As I have progressed (slowly) in the game, I see why you would like to understand the objective of my questions. I think it is merely a matter of feeling in control. But here is the scenario that initiated the question. As I swept through a target area, I needed to quickly implement my radar guided missile. But to get it into the game, I had to skew it from its last ground stabilized position. And I wanted to have the flexibility of targeting anything I was approaching. Therefore, I kind of wanted boresights (I know the tactics might be flawed, but I still wanted the option, in that tactics are evolving as I learn the "system")
And as referred to previously, there does seem to be a cannon boresight mode, and it is a start (does this boresight the SHKVAL for all purposes?). I also hope that when you guys refer to stuff, you could refer to key inputs (e.g. "LWin+Home= [Easy Startup Mode] just to ease the learning curve for me.
