To each their own of course, but I notice Priority Target recommended all the time while Incoming Fire Alert is almost never recommended. This is a mistake. Now that all players have situation awareness(detected!), you know when you're in some danger of being attacked, with IFA you know when you're being attacked, and the frequency of "Incoming!" messages lets you know how many enemy ships are locked on.

The difference is with IFA you are informed exactly when to dodge, and that's a key distinction.

Needless to say I'm not recommending IFA for slow-moving battleships or always-dodging French destroyers. But for many ships, especially mid-range cruisers, IFA serves a similar purpose to PT but with extra information, and PT shouldn't be the default choice.
