0.70.3 - turrets not firing at an immobile target

Hi devs/players!

Here to repport a bug with the turrets, as described in a former bug repport on walls, i managed to trap a leviathan between walls to use it as a weapon, and then thought that it would be just perfect for target practice too, so i placed a few harpon turrets/crossbows on the walls arround, but when i asked one of my char to hop on and attack, he would fire only one time and then just wait in ready state. I was wondering if this was coming from the char, the turret or the target, and after a few test i found that this was coming from the fact that the target wasen't mooving. if i took one of my char to make him circle inside the leviathan's "cell", this latter started to follow him and the gunner started to fire at the leviathan again, but as soon as i took my char off the arena and that the leviathan wasen't mooving anymore, the gunner stopped.

I'm sort of having the same issue plus a few others. I'm firing at a dust bandit pretty close to the bottom of my walls and only 1/3 of my gunners will actively fire at him. The other two do the same as what you describe. On top of this the turret will only fire with a few particular characters. In addition to both of these it seems that the higher level my gunner, the more he misses and the turret is only doing one or two damage per shot. I'm not sure if the last one is a bug, or just the turrets being underpowered, but the result is one sad looking dust bandit.

adding something to this.

I noticed something odd while was building the crossbow turret. besides it only firing once against an immobile target when completed. but i saw the efficiency rating for this while building it.
7875% efficiency. that seems rather odd

while under construction.

Finished crossbow and in process of loading then firing.
