Ship guns

I have used the search and can't find what I'm looking for to start, so if you have a link feel free to let me know...

When using the guns on the CV I use to be able to go to land mode (w), click on the clip board map and then fire the gun on target.  I recently started playing the game again and this isn't working anymore and the trainers section goes to a "page not found" page.  Did this change?  Is it manual aiming only now?

Land and Sea modes are now selected using Shift+Q and Ctrl+Q, respectively.

If you are a returning player, you might also need to be aware that the sighting system has changed slightly.  There is a gun-sight (yellow mil sight) and the "view" (a grey mil sight) which move independently of each-other.  So, when you click on the map, the gun will move onto the target, but your view won't move, so it may appear like nothing happened, because you won't be looking in the direction the gun is aiming until you move the view.   

You can still click on the map to target in Land Mode, but if you want to move your view to spot the fall of your rounds (and zoom in to hit specific targets, like town buildings) there are some tips worth reading in the following threads:
