30 May 2021 (BETA)

Additional gunnery improvements and fixes to issues introduced in v1.08e2
Fire at Will mode now correctly allows firing AAA at aircraft
Improved synchronisation between Wire at Fill mode and Auto Flak
Flak correctly ceases fire if all targets shot down/lost
Small calibre guns still fire at aircraft when Auto Flak is off
Guns correctly cease fire on target sunk/shot down

default.txt added new variables;
autoGunneryDefaultOn:true - Fire at Will mode is on for all player ships at the start of combat
autoHazardEvasionDefaultOn:true - auto hazard evasions is on by default

AT WILL button now available on gun panel to set that ship from manual to FIRE AT WILL mode
default/language/english/dictionary/general.txt added AtWillFire
default/language/english/messagelog.txt AutoGunneryOn message clarified with "all guns" as Fire At Will manages both main and secondary guns

Fire At Will display on gun panel now displays target for those guns
Battleships and Battlecruisers use HE shells against Light Cruiser armor and below when Firing At Will
Improved automated Star Shell usage under dark conditions for player Fire At Will mode and enemy ships;
- decreased overall star shell usage
- star shells only fired if target is not illuminated

Gun turret firing data no longer displays spread/spot information for HE shells vs aircraft as not relevant
Gun turret firing data no longer displays spread information for SS as they use a default wider spread

Shot Spread Patterns
config.txt changed;
shellSpreadDeltaAngles:[{"x":0.6,"y":0.8},{"x":0.4,"y":0.4},{"x":0.2,"y":0.2}]
to
shellSpreadDeltaAngles:[{"x":0.6,"y":0.54},{"x":0.4,"y":0.4},{"x":0.2,"y":0.27}]

This makes the following change to spread sizes (% of range fired at);
LOOSE - 6% changes to 4%
FULL - 3% remains unchanged
NRRW - 1.5% changes to 2%
