Okay so I keep seeing people say that Auto Target (aka Auto Aim) can make you do a 360 swing. Am I misunderstanding something here because my "zone" for my Auto Target to lock on to someone is most certainly not behind me. In fact, it seems like quite the acute angle in front of me (acute=less than 90 degrees in case not everyone understands my diction). I most certainly do not lock onto anyone outside this narrow range, nor does it readjust my aim for anyone outside this zone.
Either people are misinterpreting Auto Target's capabilities, or I seem to be horribly confused. Someone explain?
360° would be right in front of you (unless you mean a point blank area of effect, which is not possible for normal swings).
However, if you mean doing a 180° between one swing and the next one, yes it's totally possible. It's even possible (albeit much harder to aim precisely) without auto target.
Auto target takes the closest target from your pointer (up to a certain distance, if you are too far off it won't register) and makes it so that you face right this direction when you swing.
As an aside, a lot of people have very little clue about auto target capabilities. For examples, the ones who blame AA gunners or AA bombers in LD. Blaming someone for AA GF/DA is funny too.
