      on the other hand players will almost never hit anything if they have to do this because it is hard to lead a target you can't visually see

      perhaps only short range dumbfire weapons and autoengage at short ranges

      then all users would have to worry about is range and speed

         ok that gives me a few options:

         - a separate firing computer command (or a separate _program_ even, that could be fun and would give users a lot of opportunity to make their own shit) - as jess pointed out this really gives the wwii submarine feel

         - primarily using guided weapons and assuming shit can flip around once launched - really comports well with like, you know, physics and logic

         - just making people do the math themselves
