This made the AI prioritize maneuvering over aiming until it was extremely close to the target. However, some other fixes will be necessary. Now they sometimes attempt to aim without thrusting, even though there's no fire solution. And weapons with wide fire tolerances are not aimed very well.
Prefer to stop on the facing that's closest in degrees to the desired angle.
While deliberate, this is the cause of the commonly mentioned "AI range bug", making them unable to fire at long range. Ideally, they might use the full range only if necessary to hit a target they can't close on. But the greater number of facings for most ships now makes it more reasonable to try to hit at long range.
…up close These conditions are probably not totally optimal, but they seem like a good start.

They could still use some behavior improvements, especially in CAIBehaviorCtx::ImplementAttackTargetManeuver and ImplementFireOnTargetsOfOpportunity, but this improves their accuracy with fixed weapons a lot.
