Only the Excalibur fighter craft has autoaim.

Yeah, but the Excalibur also has tachyon cannons and insane agility, so its overpowered to the point where every mission devolves into the Kilrathi swarming the mission zone with entire full wings of fighters only to be helplessly mowed down.  You can easily get 100+ kills in missions as soon as you get the Excalibur.

Actually the thing I mainly remember about the Excalibur's autoaim from WC3 is that it would consistently shoot based on where the enemy was going to go if they maintained course and speed, causing it to miss anyone in turn.

It was really frustrating that I could shoot better than the computer but it was forcing me to do otherwise.

I'm like 9999.9% sure you can disable the auto lead aiming in WC3. I hardly recall using it ever.
