Realism is the greates fun and attraction in simulation games like this one;

This automatic mode kills a lot of the realism and ease too much the operation of the ship, while to operate with manual make ship's operation much closer to reality, and much fun;

the ease provided by the automatic dramatically reduces the personal and tactical skills of the gunners- captain - skipper;

a gun ship has to be given a course, which may aid the efficient leading fire on the selected target; 

no ship or skipper could ever change course so freely while pointing in the same time the salvos on the target, at their leisure, that's totally awkward;

I so much hope to find supporters and sharers to those impressions, and therefore that we may organize to have matches between manualand real skippers only

(because it close to the impossible and frustrating to play against an automatic control player)
