How about every assault gun and turreted tank (yes all of them) gets Hold-Fire and a lock on to target ability. Locking on to a unit would allow you to micro your tank and reface it while engaging a specific unit or especially a vehicle while kiting.

PaK 43 finally got hold fire nearly a year after release. Next patch maybe we get it for the regular PaK and ZiS? Maybe StuGs and such too?

I didn't get why they didn't put hold fire on the paks and zis this patch.. I mean, it can't be that hard to code if you do it for PAK43?

With experience, the crew learns that it isn't always a good idea to fire the gun.

Even when being swarmed by Panzers, do not fire.

Unless the Captain comes up and personally orders you to fire.

I wish the Captain could just say "You're an AT gun, only fire at vehicles."

There should just be a mode for units you could optionally enable for "target vehicles only". But yeah, being able to tell your tank to keep firing at the most important target while also controlling their movement would be very useful. I'm not sure how to implemented it elegantly. There also needs to be a way to give an attack order for "attack while in range, but don't chase".

Dunno how much it's about needing this abilities as it's about target priorityzing.
This problem was discussed before, maybe Relic solved it, please correct me if I'm wrong.
It's about each unit needs to priorityze its natural target before all. Meaning if a Panther fights with a squad of guards and a T34 enters into scene, the Panther should automatically change it's target on T34 untill it's destroyed or it exits from it's view range.

They already have hold fire on pak and zis.

You get it from the ambush camo in some of the soviet doctrines and paks get it from their vet 3 camo.

Not sure about this, honestly I'd have to see it in action to comment.

One thing that I would like is for a target priority as some have suggested above, but I'd like my tank to remain where it was if the enemy moves away. My micro is such that I'm always screwed up when my tank lurches forward to follow a retreating enemy, taking it straight into the arms of pgrens with shreks or even just a con squad with an AT nade...
